Winter is Here

Woke up this morning to see the world had been completely frosted, everything was encased in ice which compared to yesterday was a bit of a shock! Well following my base instincts to get outside and take some winter photographs of the frost and the beauty of the leaves encased in the hoar frost like jewels.





The layers of the frost looked very misty and there was a hushed atmosphere, a kind of reverence to the power of the fog and the cold. everything was covered in the hoar frost. Everything. It seemed as if the whole world was trapped in the snow queen's grip.



The spiders were no where to be seen, I wonder what they do when their homes are covered in an impenetrable icy layer. Do they hibernate or do they die? I hope they don't die. 



Yesterday most of the snow had melted and the sun was shining so brightly. The birds were everywhere, moving so fast, squabbling amongst themselves, flitting from tree to tree so quickly it was hard to follow them. I find it strange how two days can be so different, yesterday so full of life, colour and movement and then today... nothing but the still hush of white.
