Still no snow here for those winter wonderland photos just a view over the city to the snow topped Black Mountains in the distance. On my walk caught these lovely red stems. And, heather by a sundial in a friend's garden. Taking my camera inside and having a coffee I couldn't resist snapping her vases of Irises and Tulips - so bright and cheery. Baked a loaf of bread courtesy of a loaf pack complete with tin and seeds from my niece Samantha. Haven't baked bread in years - all that kneading is very therapeutic. I think I'll bake another one. Sunset taken from our back bedroom window - completely out of focus, but sometimes its good to have an abstract photo.

I have two new calendars this year - the one above from my son Che , with twelve of his wonderful photos. This one depicts a sunrise on Clee Hill, Shropshire. More of his photos can be seen on his website www.chebirchhayesphotography.com The calendar below was purchased from Claire Leggett and has her beautiful colourful flowers, a different view for every month. My photo doesn't do her colours here justice. It fits perfectly on a spot on my wall near the door. More of Claire's fabulous art work can be found here at www.claireleggett.co.uk. I also regularly enjoy reading Claire's blog posts. After a 2015 calendar I thought I might follow with a personal Alphabet Board..... A ... Abundance - Asana - aware - Autumn makes B ...

I like the pattern the telegraph lines make to add dramatic effect. One of the many splendid trees in Churchill Gardens; one of my short walks to get my daily dose of winter air and sunshine ( vitamins to keep the aging bones healthy). And below from the same gardens . . yellow strong Mahonia bush and pretty pink Spindle with bright Primulas growing below. This last image I quite liked as it is of a litter bin and it seemed that nature was attempting to upcycle the rubbish!
