Winter Book progress.

Have a peep at my Winter Book - it is not blank any more. Some of my snow and frost photos have been printed onto transfer paper, ironed onto white mulberry paper, then stuck onto the board pages. More pages to be added - some may have pockets in. 

Flowers in the rain.

I had a very gentle walk in Coombe Wood this morning, with grey sky to begin with and then rain. 

Vibrant colours of these little irises, only a couple of inches tall.

Subtle green and white of snowdrops, now wide open, 

Tightly shut purple, yellow and white crocuses

Tiny bright buds just beginning to open

Something strange among the bushes. Maybe someone is leaving carrots for the deer to distract them from eating the pansies. 

Snowdrops are still tightly closed in shadier spots.

More tiny bright buds

An abandoned game of rugby on the lawn.

Dripping wet hellebore - wonderful shaped petals
and amazingly intricate structure in the centre.

Raindrop patterns on the pond

Old flower head by the pond. 

Thank you very much for joining me.
