By the roadside

We have had sweltering weather over the last few days; and so this week's early morning Wednesday walk was such a contrast to last week which was full of raindrops and clean plants.

Today was dry and dusty - but that could not suppress the colour and vibrance of the plants - flowers in roadside gardens and weed flowers on the verges.

Some were fully unfolded.

Some were well on their way

 

And others had just started the journey.

The variety and detail call one to pause. I love that the iPhone can capture some of the fine detail - still can't justify an upgrade yet.
