Beauty in decay

Since starting Blip in April, it never ceases to amaze me how much beauty there is around us that normally you'd just never notice, even in a decaying leaf.  I took this on a lovely bimble in the woods with my friend M, followed by tea and cake in the cafe.  It was warm and sunny and nothing like it should be a few days before xmas.......fabulous.
