  When spring met winter in my local park this morning nature created moments of stunning ethereal beauty.

  Despite the cold and mud I have enjoyed my morning dog walks this month and have taken quite a few photos. I love the diffused winter light, and this January we have had some dramatic weather conditions making for some exciting photography opportunities. Here are a few shots from a beautiful misty morning on the canal.

  It was a glorious morning of frosty sunrise painting the landscape in the incredible, ethereal kind of beauty no summer sunrise can compete with. It was cold, yes, but the magic was so breathtaking that you didn't notice the cold.  

  Happiness is living near a park where there are miraculously beautiful winter mornings.  Thursday, 16 Dec Friday 17th Dec 

   Autumn colours this month have been stunning in my local park, and I have enjoyed immensely my morning walks with the doggie. Here are my favourite captures of what is the best and now the last of this year's autumn.

  This year I spent my birthday with my beloved in laws who live in Newark, Nottinghamshire. The weather was lovely on the day and G and I enjoyed taking our doggie for a walk in the beautiful nearby  woodland. Etsy Shop 

  I was delighted to see that the cherry trees in my local park are in full blossom now. It was a must to stand under the tree and look through gorgeous cascading pink balls of flowers reaching down almost to the ground. Such an exquisite gift of Nature! Etsy Shop

I don't take photos each and every time I take our dog Midge for his walk, but yesterday morning was one of those extremely beautiful mornings when everyone who likes photography will get inspired to take a few snaps. There was this soft, golden, ethereal light and the colours in nature were glowing pastels of green, yellow and blue; the world around me looked like a dreamy watercolour painting....
