Soft but Deadly

Garden Foxglove that has appeared this year (I had removed them many years ago because of the grandkids) after a little shower a few droplets can be seen on the soft, pastel flowers.

Taken at maximum aperture with the Takumar 58mm f2 on the K1 MkII

Foxgloves are one of the many "free" flowers in our garden / driveway / kerbs - great for the bees!

Lovely colours and the rain droplets lift it further

Just took some shots of some near me this morning.
They are nowhere near this good!
