Time for warmer seasons to come. This window could do with a little cleaning (and if only for photography).

Just one spot-light from behind ... the sun.

Wow, what a beautiful flower Keith.
I've never seen one of those before.

Thanks Brian. I found it growing at the edge of Carambolim Lake in Goa. It's just so pretty isn't it.

Ah, it's not a native to Wigan then.

No, Brian, but then again neither am I.
Where I live now isn't even in Wigan, that's just one of those stupid postcode anomalies. Even the town I live within the borders of doesn't have a postcode of it's own.
The only thing Wigan and Goa have in common is that you need a passport to get into both of them

I've forgotten the name of your village / town Keith, but did just remember the Wigan bit!
Only been to Wigan twice; the second time to visit the Pier (obviously), but the first time (in 1974) has photographic memories for me.
I'd just progressed from colour film to transparency and was on the lookout for a slide projector.
We were visiting my parents up north and noticed an advert where Dixon's were selling a Prinz Atlanta projector for the prinzly (sorry) sum of ......
£27.15p. We rang around all the local branches, but Wigan was the only one with one in stock.
I've still got it and it still works.

True, the flower is beautiful...in addition the image is really well done.
Composition and tack sharp focus take this over the top.

Thank you.
Just shows how good the OLY 75-300ii can be .... and the EM1ii as well.

A couple of days sunshine have brought this one tiny dwarf iris into bloom.
It's Iris 'Harmony'.

Couple of days of sunshine ???
When you say "Wild West Wales" I thought you meant the 'Wales' just to the left of England ..... not New South Wales in Australia
