Thanks Dennis and Jenny. Oops sorry about the reflection!

wonderful blending and lost and found, this is a really smashing work Carole love it. It is just like being at ground level and looking into the jumble of foliage you get in the headgerows, inspired.

A wonderful 'worm's eye' view through these lovely grasses and seedheads. The colours are gentle and the touch of gold in the corner adds just a little sparkle too. Super!
