A bit of a buddy!

I haven't been outside today - infact I haven't even got dressed properly.  How disgraceful!  Am so hoping things will be better tomorrow.

So how did I get my blip?  Well it came to me from a dog walk (brought home by J or K) and was found in the porch.  I believe it's an alder leaf bud, but not knowing where it was picked up I can't be 100% sure.  Tree buds in particular are a bit magical, aren't they, wonderful little bundles of promise and all wrapped so differently.  Loved the textures on this.

And that's it from me.  Have a happy evening  xx
