Today in pictures

I really like numbers 4 and five dave -you are very observant spotting all these different kinds of fungus.

The photos of the windmills are quite eery in the mist, Spider -have me thinking of alien invasion!

Yes, it made me think of War of the Worlds.

Today in Pictures. It was proper parky up the Coppice today.

1. The Cordyceps fungi, I manage to find it again, this time frosted up, they feed on dead insects which is not the norm for fungi.
2. On the top, its a few degrees colder up here.
3. Grass pops over by the reservoirs.
4. A frozen stick with icicles.
5. The sun is going down and the sky has a dirty colour to it.
6. Avenue Parade from on high.
7. We are waiting for the sun to go down, I could do with a fur coat myself.
8. Same seat different day.
9. Its time to go, before I freeze myself to the monument.
10. Last shot of the day, before we skip off into the distance.

Thanks for that, I did question my sanity as we sat on the memorial on the top waiting for the sun to go down, and the cold was striking up my damp course.
It was minus 3 when I got to the car, so must have been at least minus 4 on the top.

You'd better ask Mrs P to lend you her pink fur boots.

Oh dear....reference piccy No 1! Lets hope there ain't any chinese looking at Accy Web, because if they see that picture the coppice will be crawling with 'em. That fungi is the magic recipe - the stuff they eat in order to win all their olympic medals. The hillside will be ravaged.

Plus a breeze and it must have felt much colder. Worth the wait though. Great photos.

I know, whilst I didn't pick it, I did lick it, and then ran all the way up the slope to the top, did I just give its location away, if I did, it's not there.

White on white photos today -it has been snowing very heavily since yesterday evening and has only just stopped -it's knee-deep!
Miraculously my azalea has come into flower again today - I brought it inside a few weeks ago and it seems to like being on the windowsill.
I really do feel sorry for the poor birds - so hard for them in this weather. We've had an invasion of turtle doves this year as you can see in the photos.

Lovely shots, what a spanking view through the window, you probably don't notice it as you see it all the time, but those arches are very photogenic.
