The year ends on a crispy note

I went out for a slippery walk on Christmas morning with camera in gloved hand.
 
Fresh from my camera:
 
frost decorates plants
 
 
 
and fallen leaves
 
 
 
 
and clings to wooden surfaces
 
 
 
 
 the sun is low in the sky (but days are now lengthening)
 


 
the walks are icy


 
 but the views spectacular for those few that have ventured out
 


 
small and large birds are foraging
 
 


 
the ducks are perched on the ice,
 they may look as if they are asleep but all seem to have an eye open



 
the park is beautiful in its coat of frost and ice


 
in a shelter spot this branch has escaped the snow


 
 
the back of an amaryllis petal catches the light from outside
 
 
 
 
the photographer signs off for the year

 
May the New Year bring...
 
joy to your heart…

and warmth to your home!

 
yours with whimsy,
 
Gillian
