In the woods

I was trying out shots for Markus's double exposure challenge, but none of them worked. So here's yet another flower; as usual I don't know what it is! (hint: it's green). Go large to spot the ant.

S was gardening, or rather excavating a trench in order to take advantage of the new stream that has appeared since the recent floods to water the garden. I dare say it will disappear again, but it will be nice while it lasts. Anyway he seemed to be having a whale of a time hacking away and getting covered in mud, but it was a bit cold to hang around, so I retreated to the house and a book.
