Snow scenes
Every now and then you get the chance to take a picture that really moves you, and this is one. We haven't had much snow this year - we seldom do; despite the eco-warriors wailing, Tewkesbury is in rain and snow shadow and very mild! So when it does snow, it's usually quite picturesque.

I took this a couple of years ago and keep planing to make my own Christmas cards out of it - but never do. Anyway, it is a pretty scene, one I always keep in mind when I am far from home, and one that will, one day be used for my long awaited Christmas card!
For the botanically inclined, the tree on the left is a Cedar of Lebanon and the one to the right is a giant Copper Beech which is over 200 years old. The Cedar is a mere sapling at just on 80!
