Hard and soft

My son arrived last night and this morning A and D came over and we had a lovely breakfast here together.  It was a nice sunny day but very windy, went for a walk down the lane lunchtime and took lots of shots.  My son sorted my computer out for me this afternoon and now he's spending time with a friend he's known since they were at playschool!  Would have liked to have spent more time out walking but needed to see  my son while he was here.
Liked the contrast in this shot between the hard prickly branch and the soft old mans beard
