MR FROSTY

Mr Frosty came and gave all the greenery a fine white layer of white crystals and made a dull garden pretty again.

BWHAAA, IT IS THAT TIME AGAIN….

Some of you already know I am not a fan of Autumn and Winter as they just last too long for me. Short grey days, cold, misty, slippery roads…..

This morning I took a picture of an oak tree in my garden, mind you, it was a sunny day so I thought I’d take a few pics.

This is a 40 year old European oak, its leafs are smaller and less colourful in Autumn than those of the American oak. I haven’t got a clue how tall it is but it it huge.

Have a great weekend all !

WITH RAINDROPS

Plants and flowers are so much prettier with raindrops I think. We had a bit of rain last night and this morning I saw how pretty it was so I took a few pictures for you.
