Meet Percy Wiseman the Rhododendon that lives in my garden.
Yesterday (Monday) was a holiday here in NZ and I looked forward to a visit to our local public gardens to get some Rhododendron photos, but a howling gale put paid to that. I stayed home and made a fruit cake instead :).
I did venture out in the garden and shot Percy just before a downpour, which was a good reason to retreat inside for a slice of cake and a cup of coffee.
Taken with Canon 450D. Thanks for viewing Percy and for any comments.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

All looks and sounds luscious to me, Lyn. You make great use of your holidays I see. Cake sounds great too. I thought Percy was of the animal persuasion until I saw these beauties.

It sounds like someone would have been a fruticake to venture out in your weather this day, LE. Percy's cheeks are nice and flush.

Lovely shot Lyn - I love rhododendron - a spot of tea and cake also sounds good.
