Oh Ceanothus

A quick pic through the rain from the patio door, I didn’t know how to pronounce the name of this shrub when I got it, so asked a lady gardener at the kids’ school a few years ago, you have to say it in a very posh voice (ew, see-an-oh-thus) lol
Today I bought a new lens as D and I are having a weekend in Orkney - and I’m really hoping to see some orcas!  The longest lens I had wasn’t very, and I’ve kept the heating off & not fed anyone for the last month or so, to afford it :))
