I found a primrose blooming in my front garden yesterday. It was a white one so perhaps it thought it would blend in nicely with the snow that lasted for a day. Thanks for sharing some lovely shots.Glohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532995590131801962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-84032563714984868822009-12-15T19:51:18.386+00:002009-12-15T19:51:18.386+00:00What a fantastic showcase of colour.

If they are in your garden, a small pot of water with a teaspoon of sugar will keep them going in this cold spell, they like all animals need to drink! <br />Just love those quarrelling Gulls,<br />most are adult winter B-H-Gulls, but can you spot the 3-1st winter ones?? go on have a go.<br />The one that really is again superb, your lone preener, what can i say!

So no chance to go out for a while I think!<br />Nice to be able to see great and blue tits so easily, the shot of the blue is beautiful! I love your reflection shots and would like to have so much light...Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336362938871245037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-48557413066267578242009-12-12T20:02:28.359+00:002009-12-12T20:02:28.359+00:00Hi Tricia, There are plenty of photos here, and th...Hi Tricia, There are plenty of photos here, and they are lovely ones too.Bob Bushellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819577478571292055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-66973212675684930042009-12-12T18:34:55.409+00:002009-12-12T18:34:55.409+00:00The reflections of that Grey Heron shot are brilli...The reflections of that Grey Heron shot are brilliant, very creative!
