cobwebs and cold weather

Thats the last of the poppy plants 


no snow yet we had a hard frost last night 


the cold weather  brought two more species of bird to the apple restaurant , see the 

a tiny fly in the dustbin lid.
 moss on the greenhouse,


The Dolfor hill is white with frost.
the only trees with berries left are the rowan and a few  fire thorn bush berries.

Next doors monkey puzzle tree looks like a decorated  christmas tree

cob web on the conservatory  roof

Blackbird  wondering why the water is in solid form 

Its  a new species the liaf  is a mix of  Lion  and Giraffe 

T-bell loves a good fire nothing like a log fire on these cold days


the traveling spider

Icicle forming on the heating outlet pipe


an Ash tree  looks like its eating the steel 

frozen webs on the hog weed 



A retriever doing what its bred for,

The wild rose stem makes for a good place for spiders to catch flies


Longbridge is home to many a spider

A Stalagmite forming under the long bridge  only saw it as I was looking for Icicles.

The alder  fruit

no matter how cold it gets the Mallards enjoy a good slurp in the mud

this is what happens when one puts hot water in the windscreen washer bottles. instead of de-icer

frozen flower,
another traveling spider

Holly and the cobweb

Ivy and the cobweb

The quince flower these will not be effected by the frost,


Agia house  leylandi hedge is always full of spiders webs


Anyone for frozen fungi

the ice necklace


Misty scene from Dolerw bridge

A Robin  and Blackbird on Guard at the entrance of the Dolerw bridge


Frozen driftwood caught in the tree after the flood,


The lone buoy housing, long gone is the buoy,so anyone falling in the icy river will have to get out  under their own steam thanks to Newtown vandals.
