My usual walk with the dogs lately has just been so beautiful….chilly at an average of -3, but beautiful. The bright, freezing mornings that fill my lungs with crisp air have also cast long shadows, which make me smile, as I make the short journey over to the fields with Alf and Jess.
The field down in the hollow, with all it’s grass and mud iced like the top of a frosted chocolate cake
As I climb out of the hollow and up the hill the sun shines in a blue, blue sky, but it can not chase away the bitter cold
Alf stops and pauses for a photo
Not one to be out done, Jess poses too
Tiny footprints temporarily fossilised by the ice
every bare and exposed surface has been visited by Jack Frost, over night.
such beauty
so blessed

The dogs are happy their mistress took them out. Cute.

Beautiful photography Dotty. I’m shivering because of your temperature though. Are you hooking something warm right now? I’m finishing a blanket for my third great-grandson, born 8 days ago. Not a bit proud of him though. Can you tell?
