Gently down the stream

Yarrow

..Achillea millefolium

I have managed to blip wildflowers in the first 10 months of this year so it seems a shame to give up now.  So here is yarrow, which I found on a piece of rough ground behind the new houses.  Sadly, although we've seen quite a bit of sun today, it was languishing in the shade.  On the other hand, being very near to home, I reckoned it would be perfect for today's MonoMonday subject, 'near'.  Many thanks to 60Plus for hosting this month.

As you may see, I've turned my comments off for today, feeling shredded.  I will of course be looking at your entries and sprinkling hearts and stars.

Enjoy your evening  xx
