I needed a change of colour, so here is a little clump of Autumn Crocuses, taken on September 22nd at Reader Rock Garden. Feels strange photographing Crocuses when it's not spring.

I actually got over to Inglewood Bird Sanctuary this morning, in the faint hope of possibly finding the little Northern Saw-whet Owl that has been seen by a few people recently. No luck for us today, though.

We are definitely back to winter again, after yet more snow. It is as gloomy as can be today, depressingly grey. and I found it difficult to tell where the traffic lanes were on some of the roads because of the snow - something I never enjoy. Quite slippery under foot, too. Spring is just around the corner. Spring is just around the corner. Spring is ...... : )
