Fading Tulip

Hairdresser's this morning and came out to heavy rain and wind but fortunately the car park was just around the corner and I do have a small hood inside my jacket collar.

Of course the window cleaner called this morning before the rain started.

I heard a raven earlier and was just in time to see it being chased off by a pair of crows.  I love its deep, throaty call and it sounds strange away from the sea where I expect it to live.  Mind you I used to say that about buzzards as well.

JJ has been to an AGM and lunch in the village where he tutors family history and came back with a raffle prize of gin liqueur and small Easter egg.

The dark tulips are fading away and I've played around with the filters in Photoshop to get this effect.
