corn, flowers, rain

Flower in the rain

A rather damp flower in a cornfield in French Spicheren, a few metres away from the German border. Coincidentally, the name of the village comes from the Latin spicarium, granary.

  4. Julie: Yorkshire?! Methinks thou's got problems with thi geography.

    That is the chicken: Around here we are getting typical summer weather — hot sunny days broken with thunderstorms. This was just after one of those storms.

    joo: Thanks. I am waiting for Ada to drop by and tell this city dweller what these flowers are actually called.

  5. Looks like a cornflower. I like them! However the color does not match. I thought they are blue.
