Well it's been a beautiful warm spring day in Birmingham today. Some of the forget-me-not
buds that I had noticed in my back yard at the weekend are flowering.
I love the purple and blue colour the flowers have when they first bloom.
I was very pleased that I was able to capture one of these in the image below, which I'd like to submit as my entry to 'The Best Photo Of The Week' competition.
