Pix in the snow at Stowford Nature
|
| Autumn Gold.Joan's Japanese larch in fall. |
| The Big Beech.Autumn colours are rich this year. |
| Long Shadows.The fields are someone else's, the close shadows are Stowford's. |
| The Last of the Apples. |
| 'Narcissus pseudonarcissus', the English Wild Daffodils that Wordsworth wrote his poem about, are growing in banks and hedgerows everywhere. |
| The first primroses of Spring 2000 |
| First come the snowdrops in the drive and everywhere |
| The "yellow season" starts with the primroses and daffodils |
| It's hot but the patrol's out. Beth and Meddy |
| We've been land-
|
| But Vienna is content to super-
|
| This is how Vienna sulks if shifted from "her" blanket.
|
| Getting them back in again was a different matterIt only takes an inch of snow to bring out all those semi-Arctic instincts It was dark before they were all rounded up again |
| Petunias started off doing the "sticky paw dance" |
| but soon got the feel of it and was away |
| Thise sniffed the stuff |
| strode off |
| leaped on it |
| and pounced |
| and the resident robin looked on |
