I told a joke on a Zoom meeting and no one laughed
Turns out I’m not remotely funny!
Sorting through the photos taken over the last couple of weeks. Found a last wee collection to share from the trip where we met the Mighty Borb. I am very fond of the reflections in the water.

Sometimes I find wee spots in the trees that look like the best spots to sit and have a cuppa and watch the world go by. I love this miniature lichen-tree.
I have walked across this space many times before, but it was only in the blanket of snow that I noticed this tiny wee tree with its own little arrow pointing at it.
The post is the remains of an old fence, the tree an opportunistic growth through cracked asphalt, but the result is an accidental work of art (to me, anyhow).
The mighty borb was unimpressed.
