Winter Sunrise, Seed-head and Scarlet Leaves

1   I love winter sunrises; this one was gorgeous. I love the dark clouds and the bright orange of the sunrise.

2   On our walk around the back today, L spotted these beautiful seed-heads. I think they are from Old Man’s Beard. Grand-baby B loved the walk and was curious about everything, not falling asleep at all though that was the hope!

Exeter, Cow Parsley and A Surprise

1   We had a delightful sunny day out in Exeter today. There are some very beautiful buildings,  interesting alleyways, poems on the pavements, paintings by Year 1 pupils from a local school in the car-park and a  intriguing mural. Click on any photo in the gallery to see more detail.

2    Swapping drivers on the way home, I just had time to catch some Cow Parsley seed heads against the  lowering sky before jumping into the driving seat.

3   A lovely surprise was waiting for me when I picked up today’s post – a card picturing a pair of our favourite birds thanking me for mybeautifulthings! A perfect end to a very enjoyable day.
