A Perfect Day.

Today's weather is lovely; cold but bright and sunny, a real change from yesterday's dullness. While walking old Badger (who failed to find her favourite puddle as the weather's dry) I found the tips of some moss decorated with frost.
This patch of mossy grass was still in shadow, so although it would have been perfect to see the sun on the frost (before it melted!) I couldn't wait long enough. If you click on the picture it gets much bigger, and you can see the patterns more easily.
I also saw new leaves just opening on the wild rose in the hedge. Spring is coming closer!

And, several hours later, this is the last of the sunset. It's been a perfect day!
