It was a cold and frosty morning, but very sunny! We went to Figgate Park for our bank holiday walk, it's a place which generally has a lot of birds and relatively reliable New Year's Day bank holiday buses.
The bare trees look wonderful in the low winter light
and the mute swans were quite regal on the Figgate Pond
Crafty Green Boyfriend got these lovely photos below

Meanwhile back at home the
skimmia cutting Crafty Green Boyfriend's Mum gave us as a Christmas decoration has bloomed
What a wonderful walk! I hope your Christmas was Merry and Bright!
ReplyDeleteI always say the plumage on a drake tufted duck is so perfect they look like painted models
