Even in the wind ...

... and pouring rain

beauty lives!

I had a delightful visit to Orton Bradley Park with Nature Photographic Society this morning. Absolutely foul weather, and I was all for going back home, but apparently NPS go out in all weathers, so I did too. And didn't regret it. The colour of this azalea delights.

Porters Pass is closed and there's been heavy snow down south. It's no wonder we got it so cold this morning.
