Looking both ways

Like Janus perhaps..
 
Anyway I wanted this in my journal because so near the winter solstice I enjoyed seeing the combination of rosehips, looking back to autumn, and blossom, looking forward to spring.  The fact that rosehips last in some form most of the winter and this particular blossom is in fact winter not spring flowering is neither here nor there.  It still represents a form of crossover I find cheering.
 
And believe me, I needed cheering, having spent far too much of today sitting in A&E.  Thankfully, as it turned out, unnecessarily.  But it doesn’t make for the brightest kind of day.
 
Happy Tuesday evening  xx
