It\u2019s not often it snows at home and thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic we currently are not allow to travel outside our local area here in England. In more normal <\/em>times I would have travelled to other, more interesting, locations such as Dartmoor. But, this opportunity couldn\u2019t be ignored so, my local woodland area was what it had to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a lot to be said for local photography especially in Winter. The sun doesn\u2019t rise until 0800hrs and its quick and easy to roll out of bed, breakfast and arrive on-location in plenty of time. I arrived at my first location, before sunrise and, importantly, before anyone else came to see and play in the fresh snow. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beneth some trees was a small patch of ice containing shapes which immedietly made me think: virus<\/em>. Sad that it was the first thought that crossed my mind, but I guess, given the pandemic is shouldn\u2019t have been a surprise. I could imagine them silently multiplying until they had consumed the ice like tiny preditors. The largest one seemed poised to devour a little patch of grass and snow near the base of the photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three hours later and the snow was well trodden, sledged and melting fast. But I had managed to get out and make some nice photographs. My favourites are below. Click on them to enlarge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
