Sun, Rain and Worms ...

For this week's Sunday Challenge, which had the theme of transition.

This is a shot of some autumnally coloured peony leaves which I'd just added onto the top of our compost heap.

In a few months they and everything else in that pile should have been transformed into lovely crumbly compost ready to use as a mulch around the garden.

Also for Sight and Sound ... Pete Seeger (words by Lee Hays) with the short, but somewhat amusing "In Dead Earnest" - enjoy:
