WHICH WAY?

I have no idea! Three choices, which is two too many when your mind's in a whirl and you just want a sign pointing in one direction only.

BOTTLE BORDER

I bordered one of my flower beds with upturned wine bottles sunk into the soil. It's very effective, especially when the sun sparkles on the water that collects in the rounded bottoms. But it took forever to do and we had to drink a hell of a lot of wine! Unfortunately one or two have broken and are difficult to replace as they're stuck in pretty well by now and broken glass is difficult to grip.

DEAD TRACTOR

Well, maybe not dead, but definitely not going anywhere anytime soon!

LICHEN

I wish I could say it was yet another blue sky day today but it isn't. It's grey and VERY windy but not (so far) wet. I took this yesterday - this lichen is so pretty when you really look at it close up with its many-coloured frills.

MEDUSA

Today was a day of stunning blue skies - a rare thing lately and not one that's likely to last. So I took photographs of trees with the sky as backdrop. This is one of my 'dead things' and it reminds me of Medusa with that jumble of snake-like branches.

RAINDROPS

Raindrops and buds - spring around the corner but so wet!

HAIR LOSS

I wonder who or what lost this lovely hank of hair I found caught on a barbed wire fence.  It's pretty coarse so it's obviously an animal - a dog I suspect.
