New Life

'She who must be obeyed' is on polling duty this morning so after dropping her off, Millie the mad Cocker (see 29/4) and I set off for the river. It was dull and overcast, again, so I didnt hold out a lot of hope. This is however the best time to take pictures of flowers as the colours don't get burnt out by bright light. All the spring flowers are bursting through so it must be really on its way. Views of the water were uninteresting so we kept going. I was watching Millie through the undergrowth otherwise I might not have noticed this decaying log. Great, I've got my morning blip. Out of death new life arises. Thanks Millie.
