A Flock of Frost
It would seem many of us are in the grips of an icy winter wonderland. Find the wonder where you can. ❄️

Frost Nouveau
Finding beauty in the cold. I bundled up and took my camera out for a walk but the fresh window frost seemed to hold the most intrigue. It is lovely too, along the river’s edge where the water moves so fast that the cold can’t hold it still. It seems like a good time to make soup!

The First Few Days
The first few days of the year have been very cold. I am frequently lured out in this weather – it is one of my favourite times to make photographs – as the landscape shifts in and out of light and the breath from the river envelopes everything in its wintriness.
The sighting of a robin used to be a harbinger of spring but it is no longer uncommon to come across small flocks of overwintering robins. These robin photographs were made on one of the coldest days of the winter.

Temporary Blooms
Just cold enough for the morning fog to arrange shattery fringes on winter flowers.
Still, there are meager promises of spring, promises that are easily withdrawn.
