On talking


When having a cuppa tea with a friend pouring her woes,
I must give her all my attention
I must ask the right question
Be kind with my remark
Be gentle on my advice
Inconspicuously seattle the bill and
see her home.

Spot on. It is the Mimosa weed. Has always been fascinated by the plant. The flower is so delicate. I find photographing small flowers more rewarding as in this case.

A good friend you are, IML. Your friend is lucky.

That's a pretty picture - delicate flowers but well-protected by the thorny stems.
