It’s so dull and drippy here that when I tried more photos for the ‘Can you guess what is it yet? part II’ I failed miserably to get any decent shots. When doing the close-ups I find natural light works best… the flash at such close range just whites everything out.
So here is the tree we can see from our back garden…
taken in colour, believe it or not.
February half term. Doncha love it?
I went yesterday to a garden opened under the Yellow Book Scheme, specifically to take some more pictures of snowdrops. On the way there I took this picture of a sheep sheltering from the 4c damp.
Sadly the light was poor there too, though this gives an idea of the place
None of the snowdrops pictures I took at the open garden came out… here are a few more of my own, picked and photographed face up in the grass.

Breakfast, albeit in the branches, seems fine. Lunch with the pop-socks is absolutely perfect. Dinner is a bit stony to be honest and what you expect me to do with snowdrops is quite beyond me.

These are NOT, as you well know it OZ, pictures for the ‘Do you know what it is yet II? Quiz.
They will need more time
“Lunch with the pop socks” indeed. That’s a very handsome sheep. Do you not admire it’s proud and watchful stance, OZ? Not that you’d see it for dust if you were in the vicinity…
I’m with you on the depressing effect of greys, Pseu but also interesting, when there is so little colour to see how vibrant the lichens are clothing that statue like pieces of velvet and the red stems of the shrub next to it. Good contrast.
It’s grey here today – and it’s a welcome relief! We have fried and sizzled the last few days – this morning’s grey skies, no heat and no humidity has been wonderful!
Can’t get too enthusiastic about sheep – but the picture of the statue and snowdrops is great!
‘Proud and watchful stance’, my hairy ‘arris. It’s just trying to work out what on Earth that wolf is doing behind it when it’s already far too late.

Yes Boa I can see how that must be a refreshing change but personally, feel a little sun-starved in dull drizzly Glos. Never mind. Going out for a trot in the dark drizzle. That’ll freshen me up no end. 🙂
LOL OZ. Knew you’d appreciate my ovine turn of phrase. ;-p
Jan, your right about the lichen… there are some stunning colours about on the trees, and rocks and walls etc. Would lok even better with a little sunshine on them though
Jan – The best birthday card I ever received showed a lone zebra drinking at a waterhole. In the backgrund the rest of the herd were galloping, tails akimbo, into the distance and the caption read, ‘Where’s everone going and who the hell is Leon?’

It has been a bit dull and drippy chez moi this weekend; but I’m not making a big thing of it. Nice pictures, Nym, but honestly, these dismal days do make photography a bit tricky. 😉
– “but I’m not making a big thing of it.”
Sorry if it seems I am!
No, not at all, Nym, but I did, see my latest post! 😉
I love all these Pseu, but that sheep, he’s gotta be the best, what a handsome feller.
