A feast for the eyes!

Today I went walking with my husband on some heathland close to our house, and, as usual, found plenty of visual treasures to record with my camera. Even on a dull, cool day, there is so much to appreciate in the colours, shapes and textures of the natural world.

Gorse, bursting out in glorious golden yellow amidst a lattice of spikes:

Tree buds on delicate twigs encrusted in grey-green lichen:

Fungus growing at the base of a decaying tree-stump, marked out in rings like the wood itself:

I can definitely feel some new card designs coming on ...
