kinda lichen my weekend

getting colder over here ... brrr ... I can't believe that two weeks ago it was above 20°C in the afternoon & that now we've finally reached freezing point. This said, it's been snowing in various parts of the country (= France, for the new readers) so we've been feeling the cold up here. (but no snow, sigh) So nature had been pretty disturbed by these too warm temps earlier this month (my MIL told me that her geraniums had started making buds again ...) and now everything, well, froze. But. I'm seeing beauty in decay, you must have understood this part of my vision of the world now. (well, I guess so) So here are photos taken in my parents' garden on Saturday, and then photos taken during a very shortly sunny (but freezing) couple of hours walk in nature.

and in the nature now (below)

these last lichens make me think of sunflowers :)

now, this coming week is a busy one for me. A first step in the holidays. The beginning of our Activity Advent Calendar too. (still scratching my head for possible, reasonnable & doable ideas, eeeeeeek) I hope yours will be a good & exciting one too !
