We had a picnic yesterday at my friend's house. It had rained the night before and was so cold yesterday that even by the afternoon the raindrops had not evaporated!

First iris for the season popped up when I wasn't looking. It was still cold today but could feel a bit of warmth in the sun.
Very late bloomer, small flowers on thinner (but strong) stalks.
Fleurit très tard, petites fleurs sur tiges fines (mais solides).

Woke up with the sun kissing my still pale face. Ate breakfast and did some chores. Made a study planning and started studying. Lunch. The sun is slowly starting to show, gaining more and more power every day. Lovely. Met up with some friends, went to an appointment. All in all, a pretty useful day.
But I do feel stressed, I have to do so many things in so little time. The only thing I can do is pray to God to give me strength, endurance and peace.

Worth viewing large!
I particularly like the shape and colour of the 'lips' in the centre (note 1), the delicate, slightly out-of-focus pattern on the petal (2), the 'hairs' (I've forgotten what they're called!) at the back (3) and the bud of a new flower peeking out from behind the front petal (4)
