5th December - Oak Leaves
Went out today with my doggy walking friend and decided to meet at a new park I hadn’t been before. Unfortunately, there was a ‘mum’s day outing’ with lots of toddlers and pushchairs so the dogs had to stay on their leads for most of the time which upset Bertie. But at least there were lots of beautiful old oak trees as this image shows of the leaf litter.

I don’t know why, but I have tons of pictures of leaves. I recently started collecting some and pressing them to use in nature collaging.

6th December - December Trip out.

Decided at the last moment to go away for a couple of days. Not far just to the National Forest near Moria in Derbyshire. Arrived at the campsite after a lovely walk at Calke Abbey to this lovely sunset. Originally we were just staying 2 nights but think we may stay a couple of more.

7th December - What a Difference a Day Makes!

Woke up to white ground covered in hoar frost and quite cold but soon turned sunny and the colours seemed to brighten up as well after the grey days we’ve had lately.

Just love all your nature images, Jan. Longing for Spring already.

8th December - A Cold and Frosty Morning
Walk today around the National Forest heading from the campsite towards Gresley. Really lovely frost covering most of the hedgrows with the sun just breaking through. One of the best walks we’ve done this year.

I echo what Jen said. You have an eye for the countryside. This image is lovely, the snow and I love the light peeking in.

9th December - Another Winter’s Walk
Third day here and another very cold and frosty night but great for winter walking. Took loads of images but liked this one as it exudes the cold in the air but also the sun catching the tops of the hedgerow to give a contrasting light.

Winter can be the most beautiful time of year. You just need the right equipment to get out there and enjoy it!

11th December - Last day Away
Still lovely weather fortunately. Really loving the way the sun is glinting through the reeds through the plants here.

12th December - Beginning to Thaw
Caught this frosting on the bramble leaves that has begun to thaw but got frozen as it was dropping.

13th December - Frozen Umbellifer
Taken using the Portrait facility and stage light on the iPhone to produce this effect on the frozen umbellifer.

14th December - Frozen Canal
With the tragic news about the children getting caught on the frozen lake and looking at this inviting scene, you can understand why young children are intrigued by the ice. Especially when they see pictures and films of people skating on ice. Taking this image, just brought it all home to me.

15th December -Icicles
I am really enjoying the frost, especially the effects on the plants. This image is of the icicles on the Echiums in the garden. Usually they are prickly leaves but now they look very differen.

 

[Starzee]

All these images are lovely! I like it when it’s frosty, sunny and no wind.

 

[Starzee]

Any of these could go in the colour challenge and I’ll bet that last one would look excellent desaturated and in the BnW challenge!
