water lily

not much of a blip really, but finally after 3 years our water lily has flowered ! I am very chuffed. I got one ear wet taking this, leaning sideways into the pond.

Has been a stressful day today, the pc, where I store a lot of photos has a virus that I cannot fix, its vexing me no end and today we made the desicion we we hoping we would not have to make, Our dog is going to be put to sleep on Thursday morning , she is 17 and has suddenly become very old and as is common with chihuahuas her back legs are going wrong, I cannot have her suffer, its time. we are sad.
