After the really miserable weather yesterday, today has been beautiful and sunny (but cold), culminating in this colourful sunset… However, the forecast is not promising – sleet and snow are expected over the next two days, and with travel disruption expected, my plans for the rest of the week look to be in jeopardy.
… this paddling pool on the village green will be rammed with literally hundreds of kids. But for today – a cold, miserable, blustery January day, there’s no water in the pool, and just a few hardy dog walkers around…
Snowdrops are one of the first signs of Spring in the garden, although they appear to have emerged even earlier than usual. They are pretty hardy though, so should survive the cold days still in store for us over the next month or so…
… with my strong arms outstretched, all alone but ever watchful. 
It’s been a pretty mild winter so far – no snow here and a few clear days too, but it looks set to change with snow forecast later today, and for later in the week. Time to get the thermals out…
It’s only really at this time of the year that you see the true shape of trees without any leaves on at all, and I’m always amazed at just how twisty the branches of an oak tree are…
On family transport duties today, I knew I wouldn’t get much chance for photography, so grabbed the opportunity of an early shot soon after sunrise. The sharpest frost yet of the winter, and a low angle, this was taken just a few yards from home using my iPhone fitted with the Moment wide angle converter. Processed in Lightroom Mobile with border etc added using Snapseed.
