The Pond is Frozen

Merry Christmas / Season's Greetings.

Thick ice of the frozen pond; thick hoar frost on frozen blades of grass; a contrast of warm light reflecting off an orange cloud on the left side of the frame and cool blue light on the right side, illuminated by reflection from the blue sky.
A quickly seen scene yet one of my favourite photos of the day.

Old Friend

This was one of the first characterful willows I got to know - now increasingly recumbent and home to new trees forming from the lichen adorning the mostly fallen main trunk, but still, my Old Friend. No visit to the estate would be complete without saying hello.

Passing Moods

Atmospheric light - one minute bright mist rising off distant trees, the next thing you know it's blue hour.

Come on, Bambi 🦌, the water is stiff!

Favoured old pond completely frozen over. Impressive.
