Solstice Strawberries & Spider

It's the last 10 percent of packing that's the worst, all the bits and bobs and trying not to forget any important camera/computer bits, in particular.

A quick bimble around the garden at 8:30pm, just as the summer solstice light was going, gave me the choice between this study of one cluster of our alpine strawberries, complete with a tiny white spider, or a very late shadow of one of our blueberry bushes on the garden gate.

Tomorrow will be a change of scene, at least!
