Abstract Christmas - colour

This fell out of a Christmas card I opened yesterday. A gift from my good friend in the Isle of Man for the tree. It's hand made pillow lace and I just love the colour. When I saw Abstract Thursday had a theme of colour  I thought it was ideal and I played with it.

I intended doing the early walk this morning but after an excellent meal with friends last night (see Corinthian Column 's extra) A (sitting next to me) and I walked home and there wasn't a surface that wasn't covered in ice, road or pavement so I thought a walk in the dark wasn't perhaps the most sensible thing this morning. It was persisting it down anyway so it may have all been washed away but I was happy to give it a miss.

Thanks those of you who have looked at my Flickr albums I have realised that my Knysna Township shots are not in the album. They are on my Photostream so if you want to see them they start here
