TODAY'S FLOWERS & I Heart Macro - Seasonal anomalies

Heading for our winter solstice,

for the first time in well over forty years

of living in this climate,

my Hollyhock has shot up and is flowering

as though it were June in the Northern Hemisphere.

A sign of global warming?

Certainly a sign of rapid climate change.

I am not complaining, just a tad astonished

and enjoying it's beauty 

in the thin winter sunshine.
