Looks like blossom imo, quite nice in a way.
Wonder if it has a nice fragrance?

Wow. What goes through people's heads?
Outside my place there is a little patch of grass about two feet square that I have to stand on to open my gate. Dozens of dog walkers pass there every day. Ten feet away just inside the entrance to the park there is a dog poop bin.
Despite this, a found dog mess on the little patch of grass where I have to stand on an almost daily basis.
I have never caught anyone letting their dog shit there, probably because they can hear my car coming down the lane long before I come into sight.
I don't keep regular hours, so I'm in and out at various times of the day and over a period of several months I managed to work out roughly when it was happening.
If I cleared the crap up last thing before bed it never reappeared before 7pm the following afternoon and if it was coming it was always there before 9pm. After that it was a simple job to lie in wait for the culprit.
It turned out to be an oldish bloke who I see regularly walking a collie x. He stepped off the pavement and led his dog to my gate where it immediately crapped on the grass. As soon as it was finished he walked off in the direction of Fosse meadows.
I scooped the crap into a bag and waited for him to return, then I followed him home discretely and when he had gone inside I threw the crap bag into his garden. (I was going to post it through his letterbox but I was scared of being seen and getting arrested).
When I got home I left a poop bag of the same colour, weighted down with a stone on the grass in front of my gate.
I haven't had a problem since. I still bump into him occasionally and we chat like old mates, but I know that he knows, and he knows that I know he knows.
