    Good idea Woo to give them some protection.
    Yes bounceability is a good quality to have :) You need it when you are a gardener :hehe:

    I have been upset many a time [especially when wind and heavy rain have ruined my flowers] but you have to pick yourself up, dust yourself down and start all over again!

    Isn't that a song? :cnfs:

    Alot of our flowers got heavily damaged in the latest storm as well Woo, though show roses they are/were not - that's for sure! I think that 'bouncability' (I do like that word!) is a necessity if you enjoy your gardening - so many times we have to keep that in mind!

    Last night there was a phenomena just after sunset around 11:00pm when the sky was filled with noctilucent clouds.
    These clouds form at the top of the mesosphere, the region above the stratosphere between 30 and 50 miles up.This is the coldest part of the earths atmosphere,near the fringes of space were temperatures can be as low as -125c they form up there with ice particles around 0.001mm in diameter,noctilucent clouds have a quality unique amongst all the clouds they are lit by sunlight in the night.
    The best time to see the is 1-2 hrs after sunset or before sunrise I took the following pictures last night the sky looks light because the shutter stays open too long on auto the background sky is much darker and the clouds look like the are fluorescent in reality.
    I must add the phenomena is more obvious due to the recent erruption of the russian volcano this has surrounded the northern atmosphere with gasses and dust particles.

    Those are all so pretty, infact some of the cloud pictures almost look like ripples in the water.
