Rose bud.

As it was such a mild day I was tempted out into the garden to start what should have been an autumn job, clearing all the Whitebeam leaves from Clickychick's "woodland garden".

Of course I wandered round looking for a blip.   I am always keen to see signs of spring, like the Great Tits prospecting the woodcrete nest box again.  The shots taken through the window weren't any good.  Then I saw that the rose was beginning to shoot quite well.  So that is the blip a new shoot on the rose bush.
