Snowdrop Display at Anglesey Abbey (Cambridgeshire)

The snowdrops at Anglesey Abbey are certainly behind last year but probably more 'normal' with some out in the sheltered spots but still to open in the exposed areas. Lovely misty conditions yesterday gave colourings that display the gardens so well for me. More details of the snowdrop festival at this link for Anglesey Abbey

Frosty Morning in Toft Wood

A few images from a frosty morning last week in our wood. I have left the colour balance as shot with the range of warm colours in the sunlight to cold colours in the shade.

Welney Wildfowl Trust; Pochard with ?Moon and Icy Landings

We visited Welney last week on a chilly but bright sunny morning though the horizons were misty with more delicate colours. Don't remember a moon but not sure what else produced the effect! The Ouse Washes were fairly flooded and some of it frozen which gave some great landings (most missed in the camera!)

Winter Lights at Canary Wharf

The main reason for the trip up to London on the 18th was to visit the Winter Lights at Canary Wharf. As usual, there was not enough time to photograph all the installations while there was still light in the sky and surroundings. It needs several planned visits but here are the ones that I liked. Most are taken at Crossrail Place, where there is a large indoor section of intriguing but, in many cases, incomprehensible exhibits!! We did like the one that scanned you, showed it on the screen for a short while and then fell away to dust!!
