winter rose

Hellebore orientalis

A night of wild storms, thunder and lightning and intensely heavy rain, cleared into a dry breezy bright day.
I can feel my strength coming back a bit and was able for a few jobs around the house and a pootle in the garden.
It turned out to be a form of bronchitis and I have to go carefully for a while the doctor said, but I am itching to get out again to having long beach walks and taking landscape shots.
