Description

Most unfortunately Wim tells me he has a severe headache. Yesterday has been a tough day and it left some painful traces. He gives me the advice to continue the hike for he wants to stay with the car and take some rest. A hard choice but in given circumstances I admit this is the best we can do. Regrettably we say bye for now and leave each other. In his case I would have done exactly the same. A hike has to be fun, not a challenge that demands too much of the body. A little further my sad mood is revived by finding these flowers, the perforate bellflower (Campanula excisa) with flowers that seem apparently perforated, a very characteristic appearance. It's a new find for me, I have never seen this flower before (only in books) and I'm happy to go down with my stomach on the ground (once again) to shoot these flowers. Minolta X-700 (Fuji Sensia 100, 80 mm) Thanks for your attention and your always valuable comments

Beautiful photo of a lovely flower, Jan-Carel. Sorry Wim could not make it. Hiking alone is not nearly as much fun.

Probably a good decision on Wim's part to stay behind even though it's more fun with the two of you...but probably he would have suffered. Your such a gamer JC ever onward. And I see by this image your were rewarded by your efforts. A new discovery for you, and getting on your stomach is the only way to get this beauty...well done! Aloha!
