Intermission 21a

A lucky break to see a superb bird like a Sparrowhawk only a few feet away sat on a branch preening itself………

This time of year the lichen takes on fantastic colour
and there are signs of new life – catkins abound on this hazel
and for a short while ice crystals create their own designs
the shapes are amazing
Then the frost, mist and sunrise give a satisfying hue
sometimes with multiple frosts you get even more variety
and then there are sunrises to match any summer sunset
enjoy the tailfeather geometry

goodbye small but deadly sparrowhawk. Enjoy what nature can offer this time of year.
