#12 - Seeds

I never thought such words would pass  the lips of this country girl but - I am enjoying exploring the city. Suburban Birmingham is proving to be much lovelier than I had hitherto suspected. Walking further afield with the dog the other day, I passed a very tempting looking path of blue stones  leading away into woodland and around a corner, I almost abandoned my intended route just to see where it went. Revisited a couple of days ago and ventured up it, half expecting it to end at garages or allotments, but it did not disappoint. I was looking at some translucent seed heads, admiring their silvery sheen and faint markings when one fell apart in my hands. The pale green cases look perfect against the blue path.
