A matter of scale

It's been a busy morning, working on some of the green spaces in the village.

By which I mean. trying to keep the wilderness in the borders of the playing field from totally overwhelming our boundary beech hedge in the very front garden, followed by a tip run. Janet's also been gardening proper in other parts of the village too, but I've been on a mission of self defence!

Relaxing at beer o'clock in the back garden, I noticed this tiny crab spider wandering over one of the rudbeckia flowers. I did the best I could, handheld, but he's very small indeed. As for the extra, well, I'm thinking it's the mother?

There are dreadful alien things in our gardens... beware!
