The great lifting

Woke up this morning to find that the frost had finally lifted. The garden was free of it, except perhaps the micro ponds which one cannot see properly from the house. We were even spared the fog. Now that we have had at least two cold snaps this winter - compared with I think one relatively mild one last winter - maybe that is it?

Time to go and look at the snowdrops of Herald Copse in Nonsuch Park?

While yesterday morning, I was still able to admire the four sorts of frost out back, with the frost seeming to amplify the different textures of different plants, with the juniper, centre in the snap above, looking really pretty. Sadly, the snap does not capture that. Lost in translation.

Concrete wall, lower left, of my own construction. Slightly surprised to find from references 1 and 2 that that was getting on for ten years ago. I would have guessed much more recently.
