Gale winds and beautiful plants

Being stuck in the traffic for an hour and 15 minutes on a morning and being late for work doesn't make for a good start of the day. Though I was half-asleep through it and was absolutely zen about the whole experience. The winds were quite bad during the night and became even worse during the day. And now apparently everything is in chaos with lorries blocking motorways and trains being cancelled. (And I am half afraid to drive back home). No, not just yet, I wait for another hour and see if things clear up a bit.

Instead I will post some pictures of our office plants. They have a crazy floweing period recently with the orchid and the Christmas cactus spoiling us with gorgeous blooms. My friend and colleague J. brought his camera today and we made some pictures using the "Macro" feature. The pictures are behind the cut to brighten your day (the best ones are made by J. :D)

( Flowers for all the lovely friends on LJ!!!! )
