I know what you're thinking....

But its not! Its a piece of rotted wood that was lying on the road this morning. I think it looks like something that should be washed up on the beach and after all the rain we had last night it might well have been! It struck me as something strange but attractive and certainly out of place.
There was some snow on the hills around and that was to be my blip but Arteegeedee did that and I didn't want the same snow but from a different point.
