Winter Sunrise & Frost

This morning it was just a little cold. The thermometer had dropped to -5°c and as you can see we were just above the cloud line as the sun was starting to rise at about 8:30am this morning. It was a beautiful sight and it makes me glad that i live here. The two cats were demanding to be fed but i made them wait while i took the two pictures. The second one is out of the backdoor and shows the frost on the trees. It is about 3" deep and i have no idea how it hangs onto the trees but it makes them look kike they are straight from a fairytale storybook about a winter wonderland. The deer have been wandering across the field behind the trees and

there is fresh evidence that the wild boar have been foraging for food as well!! Didn't get that when we lived in the UK!

The sun is now out and the sky is a brilliant blue so i am going out to replenish the woodstore by chopping down some more trees in our wood. That should keep me warm and then i shall light the fire toast my toes and sip a steaming mug of mulled wine and munch a mincepie or two...Happy Christmas.... Posted by Picasa

    Seeing the pics, my immediate reaction was "Ah, mulled wine time!" But then I read the piece and noted you had beaten me to it. I should have known better. Happy New Year, AP.
