Chrysanthemum Explosion

My one pot of striped pink chrysanthemums has recently exploded with blooms and is looking very lovely, perfect for the challenge!! : )

In Extras is a lovely morning shot from the little lake nearby with two black swans, a couple of ibis, a few coots and some dabblers all lounging in the very shallow shallows!! : ).  And a couple interesting shots of the sky this afternoon, we were hoping for a storm or even just some showers but all we got were some very nice clouds, one which looks a bit like Marge Simpson! : )
Happy Mothers Day weekend to everyone ; )

Thanks to Anni for Flower Friday! : )
