The spare was at home, also flat!
Charging now... both of 'em!

a fully-charged image, and the light suggests your weather is improving at last..the rest of those buds will be expostulating soon enough..

There is nothing like pressure to focus the mind. Well done getting the one shot you needed.

Love the progression from buds to blooms on one beautifully curving stem. Great colours and light.

We all have days like this ~ but you made the most of it!
Purdy blossoms! :)

Re:batteries, One good shot is all you need. and you got it.
I was looking at some of these recently and wondered if there is a record number of seeds from the old blooms - some must have nearly 100 ?

You had enough power to get this great shot, it was all you needed.

Nothing like being prepared! ;) This foxglove is beautiful, they look better when they grow more horizontally. Lovely light.
