Drizzly Day

Bit of a drizzly day this, and not an amazing photo either. But I just like the contrast of dog and landscape- small to big, black against fuzzy grey.

And Hoover-Dog always like posing for his photo!

SMVs

When you are stuck behind an SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle!) there's not much you can do except contain your soul in patience.

When the driver of aforementioned SMV grinds to a complete halt so he can shoot the breeze with a friend, you just have to sit it out and try not to think sulphurous thoughts.

Difficult, but necessary around here!

Snowy Tree

Isn't it majestic?

Back Again!

Yes, we thought the snow was gone too, but on Friday back it came...

Its Melted Away!

I love the amazing range of muted greens and browns on the hills in the Winter months. No such thing as just 'green'! And the way the clouds and light play across they sky and mountains...

...and so it goes...

Ten days of this...I wonder if the road is still under there, or whether its sneaked off to the Bahamas for a bit of sunshine...?

The Holly and the...Snooow...

The way snow sticks to things fascinates me, or hangs off, or doesn't melt...Well the holly is decorated for Christmas already!

Snowy Seed Head

Isn't this amazing? Little cups of snow!

Sunrise

The same sunrise as previously, but a few minutes earlier!

Gates

Walking Home

Sometimes the feet just have better traction than the car tyres! I took this Friday lunchtime, walking home along our lane.

Snowy Sunset

Winter Sunrise

This was such a beautiful sunrise that I was out in the frost, in pyjamas and slippers to capture it!
Eccentric? Moi?

First Dusting of Snow...

...not much, but it was pretty!

Winter Trees

Sometimes I think that the bare outline of trees in Winter is just as beautiful, in its own way, as the leafy aspect of trees the rest of the year.

Rainbow!

I glanced out the window whilst working this afternoon, and then grabbed my camera when I saw the rainbow- it was just lovely!

Silly Rose!

A rose with any sense (scents?!) would not be flowering at the very end of October, you'd have thought? But my one precious rosebush is busy flowering away to its heart's content!
I'm grateful, its very pretty.

Frosty the Thistle!

The frosty weather has arrived and I was lucky enough to find this frosty thistle before the sun reached it. There were crystals of ice on each tiny thorn, my camera just doesn't do it justic as it was an incredible sight!

Seed head

The sun through this Marsh Orchid seed head was really pretty- the cobwebs added a certain touch too!

Fuchsia

The wild fuchsia have been wonderful this Autumn, laden with flowers. All the more surprising since back in the Spring, after the hard Winter that was in it, we wondered whether the hedgerows had all been killed by the long freeze.
