New Year


Holly berries. I couldn’t let the whole Christmas and New Year season pass without a picture of holly, could I?















Ivy berries. Not as pretty as holly, but invaluable if you’re a hungry bird in late winter















Winter tree


















Seedheads of wild clematis (Clematis vitalba), otherwise known as Old Man’s Beard













Chestnut buds, as fat and brown and sticky as Christmas dates.

Best wishes for the New Year to all of you.
