Winter in the garden

Winter Aster "flowers".

The beautiful flowers of Helleborus orientalis.

Miss all the flowers in the garden, wish it was spring.
But the winter flowers, like Helleborus are beautiful. Also the seed of Aster and especially Hollyhock are wonderful.

I added this photo, below, earlier in another post but it belongs at this post too :-)

Snow at the start of February

At the end of January, 31 January, we had snow !! At at the start of February too.
Snow is not so very common anymore in the winter in our country so I thought I have to make a post with some snow photos.

Dark winter day

The snow, that made "everything" beautiful white, is gone. Now the dark January days are back.
But this dark, rainy weather can be great to make photos. I always like the dark brown branches of the trees in winter.

Purple Helleborus

It is winter, Helleborus time. Wonderful winter flowering plants.
This is a Helleborus purpurascens, I made it last year, it is not flowering yet.

Sheep in the mist

Early december morning. Lovely to see the sheep in the mist, a bit mysterious.

The sheep are every year only for a short period at that place.

Wintertime

Winter, it is cold, a bit frost on the ground.

I photographed these photos with my new wide angle lens Canon EF-S 10-18 mm.
