Nature in winter

It was a bitterly cold day when I took these photos. I even thought about wearing my face mask to stop my nose from freezing! My fingers ached with cold and got worse each time I took off my glove to take photos. Was it worth it? Yes!

Morden Cemetery

On this walk I retraced my steps to a favourite place – the wetlands at The Hamptons, stopping off at Morden cemetery. Snow and ice clung to shadier parts. There was even ice on the water at the wetlands. The horses in the field wore coats and were being called in one by one to go return to their stables. Along the bank behind the Equestrian Centre is where the wild rats live. I watched them flitting across the path and into holes by trees and vegetation. As my son keeps pet rats, I have become fascinated by wild ones too, and this is the place to see them. Hope you like my photos.
