Leaves against a shabby old door

...and more on the wash'us floor.

These leaves are from a weed, a large weed, some kind of non-native cotoneaster of which there are several plants on and around the Boggy Brae. I presume their berries and seeds are spread by birds and, possibly, deer. One is supposed not to like invasive weeds but on a day as grey and dreich as today, the wet and brightly coloured leaves are a joy so, well waterproofed, I went climbing over fences and splodging through damp sodden vegetation and cut some branches for a vase.
