There are way too many flowers on each head for it to be an ox or cowslip

David,
I hope all these comments will not keep you from taking pix on the next "Nicholson's wednesday outing".... as long as it's not headed for shoe stores...  ;D ;D ;D

By the way, I quite enjoyed the pix taken when your batteries were still operational...  ;)  Thanks for sharing !

But that would a picture I am waiting for.
Would love to see David waiting and (hopefully) sitting in a shoe store,
between a raised bed of (empty) shoe boxes.
Only "she" would have to take the picture  8)

Thank you Luit, we've been married 39 years this year and I reckon that 75% of those years have been spent sitting in shoe shops (the other 25% in handbag shops). One of these days 'She' will find a pair that fits. ;D
