Calm, drier days, more “normal”…
Sun flits like robins,
low, through bare silver hazels.
Gold leaves cartwheel past.

**************************************
The redwings are back, just passing through…
Holly de-berried:
hungry red-wing hordes arrive
like Christmas shoppers.

**************************************
After a hard week, respite…
Suddenly unclenched,
that icy grip of Winter.
The woods breathe again.
(16/12/22)
**************************************
Icy weather, coldest for years…
Tremulous pale sky,
low sun strobes through bare branches.
Birds skim diamond grass.

**************************************
Traveller’s Joy (Clematis Vitalba) growing on the hedges, very seasonal…
Bearding bare hedges,
wreathing, smoke-like, through branches:
natural tinsel.
