and the mud…

A very loose, spare, painterly watercolour of a long view over a flat expansive landscape dotted with winter trees in broken sunshine under a cloudy sky

Woowowowow!

Snowdrops, cyclamen and a wee bit of winter aconite in amongst some leaf litter in the garden

I needed this today. The year so far:

I sometimes despair that the camera can never really capture just how amazing the natural world can be. But sometimes, just sometimes, the winter light hits those reeds and all those reflections pop... #birds #birdphotography #birding #photooftheday #photography #NatureIsAmazing

Two bright yellow garden strawflowers shine in the snow

Even in the coldest surroundings, there are rays of hope.

I wish you a wonderful #Thursday 🫶

Over the stream below the colours of the winter palette are topped with a hint of blue sky showing the clear day arriving through the mist.

The streams surrounding foliage hibernates as the morning mist rises with the Sun showing hints of blue sky. 📷🕊️ ….

Winter aconites (Eranthis hyemelis), bursting out of the ground. Their zesty lemon yellow buds and green leaves contrast against the mottled browns of the ground beneath them.

So very fed up with the endless rain, but cheered a little by these lovelies.

“This little globe of yellow’s brightest shade, as though upon a nest of scanty green a fairy bird its magic egg had laid.” Robert Henry Forster

Stunning!

Well this is a cool thing!

The image shows a dried hop cone (Humulus lupulus) hanging from a long, thin branch and covered in snow. The background is bokeh.

Much hangs by a thread.
Though it seems long and strong, it
can break anywhere.

Presence doesn’t solve everything — it changes how you meet it.
What are you facing today? #Presence

The pastels took over this morning when first light arrived as the silhouetted vista reflected gently in the waterway.

This morning was a quiet offering 📷🕊️ …

A picture of the Northern Lights - a ribbon of green across the night sky. Below are trees covered in snow, with a frozen lake in the foreground.

There’s no scientific basis to #BlueMonday, so let’s use the hashtag to promote discussions about mental wellbeing and check in with friends who may be finding things difficult. And if your spirits need a lift, this picture from Finland two years ago today may help.

Thank you, the light was perfect 👌

Along the stream the mist accented the auburn hues of fallen leaves and bush stems.

The morning mist gave way to Winters auburn palette 📷🕊️ …

Holly has its very own fungus! Marasmius hudsonii (Holly parachute) yesterday. Sadly, without a macro lens the depth of field is very shallow.

A minimalist architectural study of light and shadow on a textured, sandy-colored building exterior. A single, dark metal light fixture or vent is mounted on the left, casting a soft shadow. Dominating the right side of the frame is the sharp, intricate shadow of a leafless tree, its branches spreading like a network of veins across the wall's geometric panels. The composition emphasizes the contrast between the rigid, horizontal lines of the architecture and the delicate, organic shapes of the natural shadows.

Walking home in late afternoon.

"The light is the soul of the photograph, but the shadow is the storyteller. At the end of the day, when the sun is low, the shadows grow long and reveal the hidden architecture of the world."
— Fan Ho

Close up of a plume of ornamental grass. There are drops of rain at the end of each spikelet, the sky behind is a warm, gold.

On a dreich day I found some beauty. Plumed Tussock Grass, Chionochloa conspicua sparkling in the setting sun. 🌾🌱🍁🌞

Old poplar trees photographed from the base towards the darkening evening sky. New snow, brought by the wind, rests on the trunks.

I wander into the wintry woods to live a quiet dream.💙
