Purple-headed Dead Nettle

Das ist ja ein sehr schöner Anblick von dieser Pflanze lieber Keith,durch den Regen gibt es schon ein saftiges Grün,toll hast du diese Blüte freigestellt und die Regenperlen machen dein Bild noch schoner und edler,bei mir liegt noch etwas Schnee auf meiner Runde,aber durch die Temperaturen jetzt wird sich das schnell ändern :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

I'm really pleased you like this one Güni........the churchyard is a great location for finding little plants like this and I often have a look around while my wife is in the shops.

Thanks for your visit and lovely comments as always. You're very kind.

We've managed to get through the winter with only one afternoon of snow where I live.........but we've had a very wet winter..!!

Have a lovely evening my friend......best wishes, Keith.

So nasse Winter sind auch nicht so fein lieber Keith,ich habe da bei mir lieber einen trockenere Kälte,wo alles angenehmer ist :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

This reminds me that I must get out and capture some of our Spring flowers too before they wither and die. Again, a very capable capture here. Well done.

Cheers. Herb

The flower of this plant is delightful and so are the droplets on the grass, which is so green!

Prima Fokus auf die Nessel. Tolles, verlaufendes Bokeh mit wunderbaren Wassertropfen. Der Frühling kann kommen ;-)

Thank you kind sir......I'm really pleased you like this one. Such lovely comments as always!

Exquisite capture!

Many thanks William........always appreciated.

So early in the year the beauty of the humble nettle can be appreciated. Well taken, the shallow DoF emphasizes the flowers and the waterdrops and creates a soft background!

It was lovely to see this at this time of year........and I couldn't resist a photo! Glad you like it Gudrun and thanks for your generous comments!

lovely and so simple !

That's what my wife says about me Christel ;-))

Seriously though, I'm pleased you like this one and thanks for your kind comments..!!

Aus der Nähe betrachtet sehen sie wunderschön aus.
Ich mag die tiefe Position der Aufnahme und die Tropfen im Gras.
