On Saturday, as we were out at a nature reserve watching a heron, I saw how the zoom was catching the colours of this beech tree, with a seed head looking like a butterfly skeleton at the bottom right hand of the image. Nature is beautiful in every season. Today, as I have a day off, I will head outside in the crisp autumn sun and plant some bulbs. Aloha!
