It looks like another trip to Wilkos to find a suitable container.

19 of 52 - Part 1 - Gone to seed

I decided to pick what was left of a Hawkweed plant that was in the yard and take a shot of a couple of dried seed pods ... which is'nt very good. As there's a clear sky out there tonight I thought I would include the latest phase of the wanin...

Was thinking of having a rest from things Alison, this machine sure is addictive, A self imposed break may be on the cards as I don't want to sicken myself.
