Looking around rather dejectedly (the dull weather wasn’t helping) I came across this clump of shoots – probably from daffodil bulbs. I know this isn’t much to look at in itself, but it was enough to cheer me up somewhat; a promise of better things to come!

Wednesday last week began with a heavy white frost. This provides great opportunity for outdoor photography; frost does amazing things with the shapes and lines in plants, and bright sunlight at a low angle gives added punch. You just have to brave the climate, and get out there quickly!

I took today as something of a photographic challenge; warm, but dull and wet weather persisted. Indeed, the climate over the last week or two has reminded me of that phrase further quantity of ditto so beloved of auctioneers when compiling catalogues. Nothing looked the least bit (ahem) seasonal.
In the local natural scene, there was little of note to observe. Only grass, I thought…
Wait a minute! Yes, grass. Including this tall ornamental kind I spotted nearby. But how do you depict a grey, blustery day in an interesting way?
On impulse, I tried combining natural light with flash, to give a sense of movement with a touch of sparkle. Maybe the best Christmas decorations are alive. We just have to look for them.
