Another Dawn and another Sunny Day

The Hazel Tree, Allestree Lake….

Sunny, but cold and Frozen again

Monday and dawn arrived.  The warm sun graced a breezeless but cold morning.  Our Lake had frozen again not surprising as the thermometer hovered around -2c ….but the sun did lull us into a false sense of warmth to come.

That low warm morning light also crept into our woods lighting up corners that normally remain dark……

That glow of the warm winter sun lasted for most of the morning…not a bad start to the week.

Trouble is the Met Office isn’t being equally sparkling for the rest of the week.
