You must live in a sheltered place.

Suburban garden. The heliotrope used to be under the canopy of a copper beech out front. I pollarded the beech last year, so it is still there but the canopy isn't. I suspect the heliotrope thinks it still is. Except of course, thinking about it, it flowers in December when there are no leaves anyway. Hmm. There will be cuckoo flower, bluebells and green alkanet later.

The primroses grow out of the edges of the path and raised beds. We mow round them. January is pretty early for them. I wonder if this one got surprised when it was frosty last week. It was milder earlier.

We don't do gardening, only demolition.

The snow in your image is so pristine...it looks like pillows to sink into.

 

I thought they looked like white wooly sheep sleeping.

We've had a really cold spell this week, and I took this photo yesterday of these amazing icicles in trees.

Another recent photo  - some welcome winter colour. The common name of these fungi is scarlet elf cup.

The icycles look like they could be in my neighborhood. The fungi looks like some exotic fruit rinds. Really pretty and interesting.
