Beech mast

After a late start and a leisurely breakfast, it was a 'pottering' sort of day, doing a bit of  this and a bit of that without really achieving much. Nice to have a relaxed day though - still not 100%, with a lingering cold which has been joined by a hacking cough!

Picked up this beech mast as we walked round the Common with Louie late in the afternoon, and experimented with some of the 'filters' - this is 'Instant'. Not sure what effect it's supposed to have, but it makes the photo look rather like a painting, which I quite like.
