Cocooned

Got a close up of this mass of cocoons on a tree at the river this afternoon.  Some manipulation has occurred within the app called Layout : ). Each one is about the size of a grain of rice, I cant imagine what has been crawling out of them eek!
In extras is a lovely ladybird which wasn't quite abstract enough but certainly beautiful to see on this grey but not rainy day!
