Treasures from the trail ...

We've been experiencing unseasonably warm weather ...

breaking records

being the lover of Winter that I am makes me so grateful for a little spot

I know of where there was still {albeit a mall amount} of snow ♥

So  headed out to the woods and one of my favourite trails ...

I had my camera,  packed picnic lunch,

along with a very happy black Labrador, and off we went ...

no coincidence that we stumbled across this snowy heart

the only bit of snow left on a very muddy trail

my "favourite" {dare I say} :-) tree

but this old Oak tree is a beauty

and where most of the acorns I gather in the Autumn are gifted from

entangled ♥

lots of puddles for Archer to run through

~he was in his glory!

sunny reflections in puddles

and then into the woods

and fairie houses

and snow

~so many sweet quirky little creations found ... you are sure that little fairies have been busy ~

bliss

hard to see in the photo, but there is a little "arbour"

one of the things I love about the snowy trails is  that there is always prints left

often deer, rabbit and bird prints can be spotted

and the occasional "tree" :-D

heart shadows

Happy Monday/ Family Day
