Frost in the valley.

Frost in the valley.
It’s been cold this winter and to prove it here is a glimpse of my local valley walk. Taken just on the second day of the year, the trees are covered in hoarfrost making this scene quite different from the usual one I see. To the left is a small shallow pond that is normally full of frog spawn in the spring. The wide good path is along to my right and carries on down the valley and is quite popular with dog walkers.

Enjoy full screen.

Indeed extra cold this January, in terms of energy my January energy usage will be £32 higher than January last year and the highest January for the past 5 years. Only just a light dusting of snow here near Norwich just cold and frosty.

Ah yes Maurice, we have used far more energy too -not helped by many more hours per week being forced to stay at home. Good job I have some compensation like this. I am sure you will have more snow soon.

Keep safe. Herb

Fine shot, Herb.
Especially cold in Madrid too (MUCH colder than most winters and Madrid is often very cold, to the surprise of unsuspecting visitors!). The oil tank needed re-filling last week, the first time my sister had to do it this ealy and she also had to get another loads of logs in (not cheap either!).

Yes Andy, I realise now what a cold place Madrid is in winter. As said to Maurice above, our energy bills will be more this month than normal. Thanks for liking this.

Keep safe. Herb

Yes many opportunities for wonderful winter photos at the moment. It was freezing fog this morning but for some reason, I just could not bring myself to pick up the camera and go out. Must be age?

Keep safe. Herb

A beautiful winter scene Herb..............beautifully composed and taken. The light is lovely and I also like the muted colours. I can almost hear the crunch of your walking boots through the grass.

Thanks Keith. Your observations mirror my very own thoughts on this one. And yes, the ground did crunch as I walked.

Keep safe. Herb

La escarcha delata el ambiente frío. Qué bueno que en primavera desoven las ranas ahí, porque en si zona apenas veo u oigo. Buena semana Herb
