More snow, and a murderous visitor
We woke to a snow covered garden once more. I can tell it has snowed before I open my eyes, as the snow muffles the sound of passing cars to a low hum. Lovely though the peace is, it is bitter out, close to zero with a biting east wind. That puts paid to any ideas of digging over the veg patch today and sowing the broad beans.On the plus side, the snow gave me a good chance to experiment with the new camera, messing with the manual exposure option to turn grey snow pure white and to get in really close:
But we weren't the first to get out there. The heron got into the garden before we did, leaving unmistakable evidence of a morning frog feast. Bad timing for the frogs, as they had been getting ready to spawn, lurking at the surface in the water bean plants. I've no idea how many it got, or how many are left. From the number of trips it took to the pond, it seems it had a hearty breakfast.
And a few more photos. Snow is irresitable with a camera to hand:
The pink double camellia still waiting to flower
An early hemero- callis. Hopefully the cold will kill off the gall midge that plagued it last year.
