Worth waking for

I was awake very early this morning (the joys of jet lag).

Vinnie was surprised to see me up and about, and when I chivvied him outside for his breakfast I saw that it had been raining gently. There were raindrops on the flowers, and though I feel a bit unimaginative posting two floral blips in succession, I liked the contrast between the dead daff I took yesterday and this tulip that looked so fresh and full of life. (Though it hadn't yet summoned up the energy to open its petals, and like the dog it was probably wondering why on earth I was up at that time in the morning!)
