We have had some bright sunshine today but generally it has been showery with rain and snow, and a bitterly cold wind charging across from the south. So, my afternoon walk with the dogs was far from pleasant, apart from enjoying the soft wash of colour in the trees behind the sand dune at the bottom of the hill.
The birds have now snaffled all the orange berries from the sea buckthorn, but the branches have a blush of burnt sienna. Saffron coloured lichen covers the branches of sycamore and blackthorn, and to the fore pale grasses grow in the sand dune alongside spiny, silver-white stems of young sea buckthorn.

Some of my favourite colours in there. In all the madness that surrounds us it is so lovely to see normal, beautiful landscape. I hope the world wakes up to themselves. That is my deepest wish.
