053-365v4 A 10% Chance

There is a 10% chance (actually 9.26%, but forgive my artistic licence) that a picture of this tree will appear in a random search of this current 365 project. It’s the 5th time I have chosen a picture including it. It’s the best tree on my morning walk, but today

050/365v4 Spring peaks over winter’s sill

On my morning walk it really felt like spring was just around the corner. It helps that my walk now starts at sunrise rather than stepping out into the dark and the temperature has improved hugely over last week. You can see in today’s image of my favourite local tree

048-365v4 Just a Rubiks Cube

Rather like an earlier post, today’s image is of something that will become more than it appears (hopefully, if I can get it to work!). So here’s a Rubiks Cube (full disclosure, it’s not Rubiks, but you get my point). Current scores in the Rats vs Seton match is 6-1
