Artic Winds Today

No it isn't ! I can never get this right .
I don't know what this is called .
I did put on another picture , but it hasn't uploaded .

I was wondering why it was named the Wedding Veil, but amazing all the same;0)

Fantastic . I wish we hadwind here to blow the toxic smog away here.

It is Agave attenuate ...we have several in our yard.
Sometimes it is called Fox Tail Agave. I posted some pictures of it in the past (last year)
Get well soon Driad.

Bitterly cold northeasterly here too?

hope you soon feel better, the virus is doing the rounds I think.
Keep snug x

It's wonderful,Driad..and what a size! sorry to hear you aren't feeling well,so hope you are better soon..We must be lucky here,as it was a beautiful sunny calm day yesterday,and looks like the same today..got lots done outside..hope you had a lovely holiday ..:o)

Oh dear, Driad, all the way to Portugal to pick up a bug. You've more than likely caught it on the plane. Still, glad you had a good holiday. We've not long since come back from Albufeira, and had a lovely time,where were you?

Thank you all , especially for your good wishes .
It is an amazing cactus Pp ; I must have missed your pics Klahanie .
So it's an Algave .
The wind has dropped today , but the sun didn't make it out until noon , thereby missing the eclipse , but I would think that you had a good viewing , Pam . Still , did see it on the box with that nice Brian Cox and co .
Thrupenny , what is that smog ?
Don't over-do the gardening , Bloomer , it is lovely to "get out there " though .
We went to Tavira , Waddy . The weather was clear and bright .

Went to Tavira the time before last when we were there. It's lovely isn't it? Glad you've had a good time :)

Oh dear Driad thats not good, hoping you are feeling better soon, thats a great pic whatever it is.
After a really cold week, we turned turtle today with lots of sunshine and real warmth, I have my fingers xx for a good weekend....

Portugal is nice at this time of year - hope you had a great time and get over the bug soon. I thought your Agave was an Echium with the droops!
We've had lovely weather today and got a lot of brambles burned- OH came over all heroic and cut them down in order to be able to plain the fence.

Well it was warm inland , 11C , so we headed for a walk by the ocean , and it was a bitter 7C -- the wind blowing a gale but it looked wonderful , so that was a bit short lived .
A very cold wind again today , but Rugby saved the day for OH . Not a good outcome for the Welsh though , but a good match apparently !

That's a fantastic flower ! Thanks for showing it.
I'd love to see one in real life.
It's a pity the 2nd photo hasn't come out. It seems you've put words in the middle of the code for it.

I hope the bug has cleared now, and that you feel better :o)
