Entry #1: Soaked
Entry #2 Budding ...
Both Entry 1 and 2 are retouched using camera's "Selective color" filter. Entry #1's cropped but not the second entry.
Entry #3: Withered and Standing Still ...
This one's just cropped.
All of these flowers are in my backyard. I love the withered lavender the most. Did you know it was a lavender's flower? It is really the last one standing there, the rest has already fallen off but it has managed to stand the test of the harsh weathers in here. Do you see the face in the middle? It looks pretty tired to me.
Below is the first shot I took of it but I tried taking several angles more and I saw that it looks more expressive from above so I chose that shot for my third entry.
We all know how small that is so instead of taking it with my smartphone I used my D Eye because we are on a gloom mode as usual. I missed the sun for getting up late.
As for the 1st entry, it's this small. The Dutch call it "Muur Bloem" which when literally translated means wall flower. It's also very very small.
Does my second entry look familiar to you? That's cause I featured it in this post but don't worry all of these pictures were taken today.
Thanks to @jamtaylor for bringing the SPC back and to all the sponsors!
This content's 100% mine. I took all of the pics with my Nikon D3400 + AF-P NIKKOR 18-55mm .

Wow beautyfull photos :D good job
Beautiful captures. It has been so dark and dreary here this month I especially like the yellow flower as it gives the hope of spring being near.
I understand your missing the sun today as we are experiencing that so many days now. Also, I have meant to mention to you as I have noted on your other post the instruction not to waste one's voting power on post over 6 days old (paraphrased) as I was wasting voting power for a while when I first came to the platform. Thank you for sharing.
hi!
I haven't seen you in a while
it's great to see you again
thank you!
yes.. it's been very very gloomy
am glad that reminder gets to help
I put it there cause plenty of peeps still up old posts of mine which is am thankful of at the same time feeling sorry for them knowing it doesnt do anything to the post nor earn them anything - wasted voting power but still a lot are doing that sighs.
Oh, they are so small . I've never seen a live lavender flowers. I saw a lot of photos through the search engine. It is very beautiful! In the spring You will have a beautiful garden when they bloom. I liked the photo Entry #1 "Bloem Muur". Wall flower it's name from the fact that they are climbing the wall up to the sky, as a hedge? Or I not so understood? He looks very vulnerable. It's amazing how they managed to survive the hurricane. Thank you!
they can grow on walls
but I don't really know why they call it "muur bloem" not the other way around :D
they're in between the gooseberries and the blueberries that's why they've survived
Gotta get my camera out and practice
