Magpies and Flowers

As always more images than I can Blip - the best blip is here.  The one I most wanted to post was the innards of a tulip, but I just couldn't get it right somehow. Perhaps it was depth of field, or maybe the colours were just too dark and light.  I might have another go tomorrow, but make it more arty than just as is. We'll see.  It was lovely to see the sun today, but there's still heavy dark clouds around.
