It's winter now

So the clocks have gone back and it was dark, it seemed by mid afternoon, yesterday, halloween is over and for me it is now winter. My favorite season.

Those loyal few that visit here regularly will have by now realised two of my passions, natural history and photography and whilst my personal endeavors to bring the two together fall somewhat short, those of others do not!

As a consequence, over the years I have gathered together a large number of such winter photographs that I adore and that are just begging to be used here. My blog is not known for being left be, I have a small obsession with 'template tampering' and so from now on you can expect more changes than usual whilst I share some of my most favorite images! It will at least be some respite from cats! :o)

I am currently awaiting permission from the copyright owner to use a photograph that has to be 'number one' on my list. Until such time as he is kind enough (or not!) to allow it, I will hope for the best where copyright is concerned with others that I just can't track down the owners of!
