Never heard patulous! Thank you for a new word, as well as a lovely collection of images. What beautiful markings the donkey has, and you give a lovely glimpse into the heart of the cyclamen The music serves serene well. One day I’ll rise to this challenge! Do you begin with photos or words?

Just fabulous, Paula! Your ‘minibreak’ did you no harm 🙂 🙂 Hard to pick a favourite. We have vibrant cyclamen in our garden and I love the clarity of that shot (set against stone chippings?) The donkey reminds me of a sad beast I saw not too long ago, in Spain, and the pure joy of the bride is a wonderful, infectious capture. And La Serenissima- who wouldn’t want to be that serenely beautiful?
