found alphabet number 9. The letter k.

The letter k is added to my found alphabet collection - formed from the fallen stalks of virginia creeper leaves.

I haven't seen a found letter since August, so am rather pleased with this, especially as it is the initial of my surname.

I think it's about two years now that I have been looking for letters. The rule is simple - the letter has to be have been made without any human intervention. I have been very tempted a few times to help a letter emerge, but no, I have remained strong!

Found Alphabet, number 7. The letter Z.

Here is the letter Z, formed from a piece of electric fence tape lying on the path to the turnout fields at the stable yard.  

  

You can see how dry the ground is, even after the recent torrential rain. 

The photo, taken with my phone, doesn't do justice to the wonderful colour of the Herefordshire soil.

Electric fencing is a very effective way to make temporary fields for horses to graze. And as I discovered yesterday, the shock delivered from the battery powered fence isn't enough to hurt, but enough to put you off touching it!

 

 

Found Alphabet. No 6. The letter F

Slowly my found alphabet is finding me.

Here is the letter F.  A piece of straw lying on the yard as I was sweeping this morning. I very nearly swept it up without noticing.

Only another 20 letters to go.

found alphabet number 5. The letter Y

Here is a rather good capital letter Y

It's the stem of Old Man's Beard, the wild clematis.

Number 5 in my quest for a complete found alphabet!

Forwards and onwards.
