Winter surprises

Lovely, Shirley - I enjoyed the walk and photos, especially as I am still stuck indoors getting over the flu bug!

Thanks for posting this! That Ophiopogon has taken on a new persona - I like it like that.

Very enjoyable set of photos. Thank you.
My favourite picture is of the gorse. :o)

Thank you for sharing your lovely peaceful morning Shirley - your pictures were beaufiful, and I very much enjoyed your commentary :-) BTW the frosty strands on the tree stump might have been animal fur - I saw something very much like it caught on a fence and had to touch it to find out what it was and it turned out to be sheeps wool.

These pictures are lovely.Thank you.

What a lovely interesting blog & photo's enjoyed the walk with you.

Your photos are amazing.

Lovely photos. A frosty world looks unreal.

Lovely stroll Shirley, great photos, they all look so magical. and yes Sid just beat me to it, i was going to say animal fir, we don't have much woodland where i live, so no sheep around. but we do have a really nice park with a woodland walk, and i have seen dog walkers brushing thier dogs, whilst over there. gues it makes sense really, i have never had a long haired dog myself, but i would imagine it can be a pain to clean up in the house.

beautiful photos Shirley

You captured the atmosphere really well...enjoyed the walk.

Oh thankyou so much for sharing these beautiful photos and your experience this morning. I had a similar walk last fall and also noticed common weeds looking ever so splendid with their frosted covering.

Thank you, I enjoyed that walk! Lovely photo's.

Spectacular photos Shirley , I enjoyed it very much , some people might not like the winter but you have to admit that mother nature weaves some wonderful patterns for us to admire .:o)

Love the pics. Looks like you have a proper frost I only have enough to be annoying.

It may have been freezing Shirleypoppy but what a wonderful set of Photos........

Lovely blog Shirleypoppy. I enjoyed the walk through the frosty woods. You took some amazing photos.

Well done,great photo,s

Thank you all for your kind comments. The frost is still here this morning, but no magic!!
Spritz : Hope you're a little better today. Poor Ophiopogon - what's not to like? I Bought the original plant in Cornwall years ago, and carefully transported it all the way home in the car! Now it's offspring are all round the garden - it is pest-free and needs no attention - my kind of plant.
Sid : sheep's wool,I don't think, but could be the combings of an Old English SheepDOG, as people take their brushes over to the woods when walking their dogs. Majeekahead wins a major prize!

I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I don't like Ophiopogon, Shirley! I do! I just meant it looked different and interesting, that's all. Wouldn't it be good if we could buy a black and white striped variety!

I was 'persuaded' to go out for a walk with Henry and husband this morning as it was a bit milder. My legs wobbled all the way back - I nearly sat down at the edge of the lane and refused to budge! Talk about slow progress... lol. Snail's pace.

Well done Spritz pleased you were well enough for a walk ,let Henry do the running he has four legs...

OOOOOhhhh more prizes! lol i am doing well at the moment! and i like the sound of that Spritz, or even green, black and white? and good for you a bit of fresh air is proberly do you good, be careful not to over do it though, x

Incredible pictures, great closeups, enjoyed the walk, saved my legs.........

Lovely
