Wednesday 16th February 2005 - Day 60

Fin

I wanted to sign off this series in a dignified way, so the lantern underwent a bit of a dissection. What I hadnt counted on was the sheer strength of the structure! I managed to cut it completly in half, without the skeleton collapsing, much to my surprise. This strength made it difficult to crush into dust as well.

Anyway, the seed pod was then revealed, rather than hiding away inside the skeleton.

On a regeneration note, I notice that our clematis are beginning to bud, so hopefully there will be plenty of colour just outside the door in the months to come.

Dont forget, all the images can be found in the Chinese Lantern gallery
