Purple flamingo

This morning started out with another grey cloudy 17 C but in the afternoon the sun came through and about an hour ago the late sun sunlight reached the bouquet at the side window resulting in this backlight on the purple anthurium flower in the bouquet. The speckled background is the rather dirty window (pollen, Sahara sand etc) also lit up by the late sunlight. For Flower Friday with thanks to Anni/Bikerbear who hosts this wonderful flower challenge every Friday.

In other news I've been to the hairdressers for the first time in 7 months and I took Fumi with me, who hadn't been to a hairdresser in 18 months ! We're both happy with our new hair do :-)

Thanks very much for all the Abstract Thursday entries and for the kind comments and stars for yesterday's inside of a colourful solar garden light cover
