How? Why?

The effort taken to get the old Christmas tree into the middle of the woods surely outweighs trying to get it to the dump or collected at the roadside.

Breakfast with the usual suspects ....... it has been ages.

We avoided the torrential rain and thunder storms today (although I did hear a couple of rumbles away in the distance). However, I left the house to walk PD in heavily overcast verging on fog and within 10 minutes it was like this and roasting.
The rest of the day stayed really muggy.

Other shots today .........................
A gate for Dotty
PD in the buttercups
Feather and lichen
"Melting" bracket fungus
A Wabbit
An elder growing in a beech (I liked the lighting on this)
Not an eclipse ............. the inside of a large chocolate buttons tube.
