Time to smell the roses

Without light there is no colour but when the sun shines there is glorious colour even on a winter's day in January. Like lots of folk who've eaten too much, drunk too much and barely moved a muscle except to switch TV channels for a week it was time for a walk in the country today!

These persistent Acer leaves still cling to the branch.

Who says tree trunks are brown?

Or boring?

Or dull?

A poplar avenue is nature's cathedral.

And a laburnum arch is beautiful even without the flowers.

Without a whisper of wind a pool becomes a mirror.

And then there's cute! If this little fellow with his velvet head and orange feet could have been persuaded into my bag I'd have bought him home with me!!

It doesn't cost much to get out to see the world and recharge batteries!

Talk to you soon - Linda
