Everything changes

I'm sure I have posted this standing stone before but I can't find it.  It has carved on it Cicely Herbert's poem "Everything changes".  We love it for the line "We plant trees for those born later".

It caught my eye because of the shrub flowering behind it.  Someone mentioned online that they had accidentally discovered that if you swipe up on a picture in the Photos app on an iPhone, not only does it tell you the iPhone camera settings and where you took it, but it offers to look up the plant.  I have tried it out on a few plants and it is uncannily accurate.  I was pleased to learn that this white flowering shrub is a Mountain, or New Zealand, Holly, Olearia ilicifolia!  We chopped it back hard last year and this is our reward :-)
