Looking closer

I enjoy looking in detail at growing things, especially at this time of year when so much is happening. By June leaves have been gnawed at by caterpillars. By July plants are already going to seed or shrivelling in the heat of summer (OK, possibly) and by August it is all over, the trees and plants have taken on an old green colour. But now everything is new, 
vibrant and perfect. 
Get Out! Take a closer look.
