Maybe with all the rain you'll get a good show of wildflowers now. This looks like one we call 'jinia' here which pops up in the winter, white and pink
Maybe that pretty little flower is a good omen for what is about to be decided in the States !!!!! .... although it seems that neither one of them will be any good !!! XXXX
I like nature's lone wolves such as your flower. I saw a Red Admiral in November! Their flying season officially ends in September. In the last week of October I spotted a handful of buttercups and daisies on a hillside near Vienna at an altitude of over 5,000 feet. Lone wolves are nature's insurance.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Your seasons seem to have changed very quickly - it seems no time at all since you closed the pool. Don't recognise the flower.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's been a bit of a shock. One minute hot sunshine, the next minute frost. The flower was a lone one-off.

ReplyDeleteAs I said above, it was just a single flower in the middle of a wood. It stood out like a sore thumb.
DeleteDark days indeed - we need the beautiful little things in life to lift our spirits. p.s. thank you for the birthday greeting.
ReplyDeleteThis little flower certainly lifted my spirits.
DeleteMm, I can just smell those wet leaves. Damp woodland, my favourite scent.
ReplyDeleteThe pic was taken in a plantation of Red Oaks. They are at their best at the moment; wonderful colours.

ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for them no matter what the outcome. We'll know tomorrow!
DeleteThe hills are alive with the sound of music .........
ReplyDelete♫ Edelweiss, edelweiss....

ReplyDeleteIt reinforces our confidence in mother nature.
DeleteI'm trying to think what that flower is. it looks a bit like a campion, but I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteI know almost nothing of flowers. But it was a nice little thing; all alone, like that.
DeleteI try to keep noticing good things and actions and thoughts, even as the not so good versions seem to be in the spotlight.
ReplyDeleteOff to the polling place within the hour.
I've been listening to the radio all night. Interesting times!
DeleteI think I'd have used the phrase 'occasionally into every day a little light will fall'.
ReplyDeleteIt felt exactly like that. I also just happened to have my camera with me.
DeletePerfect quote for today Cro - let's hope you are right.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm.
DeleteStop. Do not go towards the light. You're much too young and we need your blog.
ReplyDeleteDo not pass GO, and do not collect $100. Trump at large!
