Frosty walk

I wasn't going to go to Coombe Wood this morning, having been there yesterday, but it was a crisp frosty morning and I couldn't resist wrapping up well and going to take some photos.

Magical garden sprinkled with crystals

No frost on these but I love the lacy skeletonised petals

Long crystals on the central vein of this leaf

Frost crystals on tiny plant

One thing I love about taking photos is that with the help of a camera I can see things I wouldn't be able to see with the naked eye unless they were very close up - e.g. the frost crystals, the skeletonised hydrangea petals in the second photo and the skeletonised sycamore seed below.

There are so many terrible things going on in the world - I find it refreshing to take a break and search out some of the beauty that's around - it helps me to restore my perspective.

My third Coombe Wood weekly drawing has been done - and I'm also working on daily quick drawings which are related to anything I notice during the day. I'll just give you a glimpse of those for now.

Thank you for joining me on today's little arty journey.
