Sauntering Vaguely Downward

I accidentally took this photo of a statue in the Oxnead Hall gardens while in macro mode on my phone, and I rather like how it turned out. Also I need another peaceful image today, because it's been eighteen years, and I still find this particular date to be very hard work, not least because on this day in 2001, my grandfather had just died. Why on Earth I decided to do this project in September, the most fraught month in my personal calendar, I do not know.

ETA, literally five minutes later: I have just received the news that my Auntie V died this morning.

Dear September,
Are you fucking kidding me?
No love,
Nanila
