Peek-a-boo

It was a really lovely morning, still, and with a clear blue sky.  All thoughts of housework evaporated and I set off through the orchard and round the woods. 

I did meet one local lady with one of her dogs (the other decided to stay at home sunbathing) and then I met up with a guy who is bringing up a Labrador puppy that will eventually be trained as a "Hearing dog".  He's called Hector, is five months old, and a handful.  I would have asked to photograph him but he's a bit too boisterous as yet.

Having seen tomorrow's forecast I've thrown bulbs into various pots and will wait to see what comes up in the spring.

I spotted another ladybird clinging to this old flower and thought it would do for today's blip.
