Good colour on that tree; do you know what it is?
That's red. ;-)

Lilith did a grand Pink Frost upthread…
All part of the kaleidoscope world :-)

When I lived next to the Park in 2006, the monarchs used to visit our garden in great numbers.
I tried photographing them in their own tree but they were surprisingly hard to do justice too, they blend into the tree.

It was for you; a chi tree?
Thank you Hebe! :-) I love Risingholme Park and miss being there!
I wonder if the monarchs will come this winter, there are a couple of trees they particularly favour.Harriet the cat had at least one sleeping spot inside that yew. Perhaps still does! She would materialise out of it as if she’d just popped across from another dimension.
Great captures, Hebe.

Variable Oyster Catchers
Variable oyster-catchers are very cool. If you see them feeding on a beach they seem to tap-dance in and out of the water in time with the waves. And if you see two together they usually synchronise their steps.

snow everywhere, and holly
The holly and the powerlines? Should be a song! :-)
Gosh, I know that yew tree (and its friend) very well! It normally stands so proud. Perhaps it will shake itself overnight?
The clouds of what look like steam I think are the snow sublimating (going from solid straight to gas) and then condensing into water droplets in the air?
There was such a lot of contrast today, such a clear bright day: hot in the direct sun, bone-chilling cold in the shadow.
Most of the snow on our roof has slithered and crashed off, but there’s plenty of soft snow lying around the garden, and I’m sure it’ll be crispy with ice again tomorrow morning.

Thanks folks, I'm fortunate in not having to go far for good views! And dawn is late these days. :-)
Gudrun's the intrepid one! -
