The North wind doth blow

In the Outwoods, above Loughborough, a large 'dump' of snow ... not the one in purple !!!

Oak

This oak tree appeared in a blog post on 20 October but my interest in it at this time is because it still has many of its leaves on in spite of the weather and the wind and some of them even look green !

Winter sun

An almost ghostly light at mid-day. This photo taken with my iPhone looking back across the fields towards the end of a long walk from Loughborough towards the Outwoods. No sound, no people, no footprints ... beautiful

The road home

The last stretch of the road home from a long walk in the snow ... soft and peaceful with snow just gently falling all around ...

We've got a little snow :-(

5 o'clock in the morning and the street lights give the scene a soft blur ... an icing sugar coating makes things look good

11/02/10 - What a difference a day makes !

What a difference a day makes!

The snow is still there as powder on the grass but the sun is out in a blue sky though there are ominous clouds still.

First day of BETT 2010 and the snow came down on London but the halls of Olympia seemed to be as full as ever with people keen to trace the innovative and exciting.

09/01/10

One small(ish) step for me ...

Tried to get a pic of the robin standing on the heron's head but was not quick enough. (The heron is now a rusting iron favourite perch for our garden birds)
