Five holly leaves from the same tree 🌳
If holly is allowed to grow into a tree it is highly likely to do the same
Holly evolved to fight back against the large herbivores that used to roam the Earth. The higher the tree grows the smoother the leaves get

Yesterday I saw this incredible trompe l'oeil painted in 1771 by Jean-Étienne Liotard, a painter I love but whose work I too rarely encounter.

Possibly my favourite 'modern' chest tomb with an effigy. Lady Eleanor Methuen who died in 1958. She was an artist and the small stature at her feet is of her as a young painter. Corsham, Wiltshire.

I don't want to sound too much like a granny, but I sure do wish we still all wore hats.
