Another shot from Lucy, and it gives a glimpse of the snow that arrived in London yesterday morning.
Tradition says that when there are plentiful berries on trees and plants during summer and autumn, it is natures way of providing a good supply of food for animals and birds in a harsh winter.
Well, we certainly had abundant fruit crops this year, and now for the last few days temperatures have dropped well below normal for the time of year, with harsh frosts. Now snow has arrived in various parts of the country, though in York we have escaped the snow, and are sticking with the frost. The forecast is that tonight the temperature will drop to around -7C.
I don't know if this will turn out to be the start of a harsh winter, or if this is a temporary interlude. Only time will tell, but I am hoping that the tradition about abundant fruit being followed by a harsh winter proves to be incorrect!
I remember those berries from when I was a child living in Germany. I must say, I haven't seen any here.
so nice to see the lovely pictures Lucy takes. she is following in your footsteps so to speak. Ian, I like to thank you for your comment and fav. on my picture I called glass art. much appreciated!
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated. Lucy will be thrilled that both her photos posted this week have made the Popular Page.
I haven't yet seen snow in York during this cold spell - just lots of frost. I quite enjoy a walk in the snow, if it isn't too deep, and preferably when it has newly fallen, but it looks like now isn't the time!
