Hmm! It really does look like she's offering a bouquet. Makes the image even more enjoyable. Nice use of the Alt text.

Aww. Heartfelt words. The hope of Spring, the little ache inside when it's so far away. Still, there's hope.

Blowing a gale and on and off rain showers on this morning's walk here in Glastonbury. It was still an interesting sky at sunrise though.
