Catching the winter light

Went for a garden wander this morning after yesterday's Storm Dierdre. The low angled morning sunshine picked out quite a few bright things.

Gorse, primrose (that was a surprise!), winter leaf of meadowsweet, and  a yellow leaf in the snow

Cypress leaf in a log on the bonfire site, winter fern (lemon-scented, I think),

dock 'berries', rushes in the field, and one leaf of a baby beech tree.


Lichen & moss 'forest' on a stone, lichen off a tree, fresh green fern frond, and what

looks like an insect gall on a fallen goat willow leaf. Once I'd spotted one I saw lots.
