Touch of Topiary

Travel plans delayed.

That meant a chance to catch up with some friends and their dog Max.

Max is a good name for a lovely fourteen year old black labrador
...yes, fourteen... a fair old age in dog years.
Despite being a bit deaf and having poor eyesight, he's remarkably sprightly and enjoyed the walk.

Anyway, instead of ancient (but photogenic) Max the dog - have chosen some greenery we passed today.

Have mixed feelings about Topiary....man (or woman) re-shaping nature...again.
Some of it is strangely compelling though.

The light today was flat and grey ...thankfully, have a few days work in the sun coming up.
