Winter Farmyard

The last days of winter are upon us and I am soaking them up, as well as looking forward to fare welling what has been a very, very cold season. The mornings at the moment are still crisp and misty but the days are filled with warm sunshine and balmy evenings. Bliss!

This morning I headed out with the camera to capture some last winter shots. It was damp and grey and bitingly chilly but it all soon blew away to reveal impossibly blue skies and the warmth of Spring.

The winter farmyard is something I will miss. The slower mornings,  filled with multiple cups of tea and returning from the morning's chores to warm myself by the fire.

But I can't wait to welcome the early rising once again, the long afternoons and the brisk days.

I'm learning slowly to embrace each season as it comes rather than favouring one and wishing the others away. There is something to love in each season and I'm ready for Spring to roll in.
How about you?
