Afternoon Light

Hello Lovelies,

Sunday was bright and frosty. Just the sort of day to get outdoors.

 I longed to walk, but other errands beckoned.

 Happily, on the way home I grabbed the opportunity to get outdoors before darkness fell. I decided not to travel all the way home in our car, but to get hubby to drop me off a couple of miles from home.

  It was just after 3pm and the light was glorious........

The temperature was barely above freezing and  the frost was still thick where the suns rays had not reached........

looking back  you can clearly see the difference.........

I LOVED the bright sunlight illuminating the inside of the tunnel under the railway line.......

and the fields beyond looked magical........

Both up close......

and into the distance, the world looked gorgeous..........

Looking up at the bare branched tree silhouettes along the horizon I loved all the different shapes.....

Climbing the hill was welcome exercise and warmed me up on such a chilly afternoon. The distant view was lost in a mist the stayed in the valley all day...........

and soon the sun had disappeared below the horizon, just a hazy glow in a sky full of wispy cloud.
But the bleak winter landscape still looked beautiful.......

I hurried home, happy to have been outdoors. But as darkness fell I was very happy to get home to my family and our cosy home.
