I definitely prefer the hyacynths when they have gone over like this one. They have a far more interesting look to them with the fading colour than they have when in full bloom.
I photographed a few flowers round the garden and Jess had a good time exploring the burn and is now more comfortable getting her paws wet and criss-crossing the burn when she wants to investigate something on the other side. It does help that, after a fortnight of no rain, the water level is pretty low at the moment.
