Enjoyed another visit over to Warton Crag, just to tie up one or two loose ends from yesterday. The day was lovely and sunny and warm.

I found these special shaped leaves whilst climbing through the woodland on my way to start the Crag and its escarpments.  The looked great and could not resist the temptation to take a photo or two.
