Two walks along the canal and the cycle path and look at all the beauty we found...

That yellow certainly makes it POP!

And the thistledown added some extra pattern into the mix.

A gritty mix of old graffiti, moss, weeds and rust. Nature is taking over.

It's good to be able to find beauty in the wild and weedy edges, in the rust and the ragwort, the shadows and the spray paint.
It's never far away when you know how to look.
