* The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds is a wildlife conservation charity. Initially, the Society (without the Royal) was an all-women movement created in 1889 by Emily Williamson to fight a fashion for feathers and exotic plumes that was driving a number of birds towards extinction. The RSPB is also part of the BirdLife International partnership.
Lovely images. It looks a very tranquil place – and rather cold.
Thanks Eileen. It is even colder today. It feels like we are on a temperature roller-coaster right now! 😉
Beautiful images, Allison. I esp. love the header and the field of frosted teasel. Calendar worthy!
That’s so kind, Eliza. I always grow teasel in the garden too, but it is something else to see swathes of them!
Beautiful, peaceful scenery and wonderful photographs.
Thanks, Sue!
I’m so proud of myself. I recognized the teasel before I found it identified! The reflection of the contrail is unusual, and nice, but that third, expansive view is gorgeous. What a fine place to have access to!
It’s a place that deserves further exploration for sure! I am glad that I discovered it last year (finally, after 20 years of living here!).
Wonderful views, rather cold though!
Thanks. Lol, yes … even colder today, brrr!
I love frosty mornings! These are wonderful shots.
Thanks Lindy. I love sunny, crisp mornings too!
