Three years in a row...

"You don't get snow on the beach, not here," they said.  I looked out this morning, and what did I see?  Not France, that's for sure.

Sparkling water

We haven't had much bright sunshine this winter so when I saw the light shining off the flat surface of the water through the twigs, I had to take this picture.  It looks better enlarged but it doesn't capture the full sparkle properly.

A two-in-one post for the Photo Hunts.

Skeletons

I love the shapes of the trees in the winter.

Especially in the snow.

A collection of what I take to be rooks at the top of this one.

A winter-flowering cherry, not a very inspiring tree in the summer, but I do like its shape.

Trees lining a driveway, limes I think.  They were lovely last autumn too.  They are relatively young, having been planted after the older trees were destroyed in the "hurricane", the Great Storm of 1987.
