Winter colour

Winter is not all grey.

tree colours

Birch, willow and a couple of evergreens.

alder catkins cones

The red catkins and cones on an alder.


ash tree seeds

Ash seeds dangling over the water.

spikes of seeds

I don't know what this riverside shrub is but I liked the shape the branches make against the backgound of the water.

bunch mistletoe

A spherical bunch of mistletoe suspended over the river.

red berries evergreen leaves

An evergreen bush overhanging from a garden. Quite a few of the red berries had already gone, to the birds I presume.

round prickly fruits plane tree

Fruits of a plane tree. There seem to be a lot of them this year.

red berries in cases

I love these last berries. They seem to be oozing from their coverings or cases. There's something almost voluptuous about them. If anyone knows what they are, I'd love to know.
