Rose Hips

Another misty day.  I wanted to pop in to Walsall for an errand so combined it with a quick walk around the Arboretum, once famous for its illuminations, now consigned to history under increasing financial pressures on local government.

While I took those typical misty shots of bare trees and recession, I also came across these rose hips.  What did it for me was the background, a complimentary vibrant colour provided by the winter stems of several dogwood plants.
