Well, the sun is out today … at least a little, but recently we’ve had some dark days. The days are shorter nearing the solstice. Even the recent news about vaccines hasn’t lifted the mood much. And my outing to the country park didn’t produce much in the way of photographic opportunities either. I still saw something I hadn’t seen there before – a large grey heron gliding down the centre of the narrow river staying one metre off the water surface with barely a flap of its wings, and disappearing round the bend. It appeared all too suddenly and much too fast to capture.
All the trees are now bare except for the crinkled bronze beech leaves which seem to hang on through the winter. All the leaves have been washed down with all the rain and now form a slippy mush underfoot on the forest floor.
Still, carrying a camera makes you see, and I saw these wintered bracken fronds. I saw something in them.

Lovely symmetry and color! (Now that all the leaves have fallen from the trees around us, we’ve got green grass growing, again. In North Dakota!)

Thanks Lizl! And we’ve just spotted flowers coming into bud in the garden. Not sure if they’ll come to anything as we’ve juts had our first hard frost. It’s that climate change thing!

Rather unnerving, that. Flowers are nice, though, if they manage to survive.
