This is one of my favorites but it was taken in March of last year. It's a 50 years + flower pot. The house was remodeled but the flower pot was left as it was by the gate.

It's not a shame to be weathered.
It just means you made it.
Somehow.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as "decay" or as "weathered" but those dry weeds coming out of the rain gutter seem to have been weathered first by the rain and then by the sun, and so probably was the rest of the building. In anyway that's my contribution taken this morning during a stroll in Lisbon.

Technically (o)(o) missed the deadline, but we'll let you off given the lack of entries this month ;-)

Chontler, can we have a shortlist please!

Well originally we aimed for 5, but in months where there weren't many entries that ended up being three, so now we just say 'pick a shortlist of up to 5!'

Nothing says you can't still post 'em, they just won't count in the comp :)
