One Special January Day

Hello Lovelies,
yesterday's walk in the beautiful south Derbyshire countryside was particularly lovely. When the sun shines at this time of year the light can be quiet magical. The low angle of the sun illuminating the contours of the landscape and bringing a very welcome shot of intense colour. The very first brave blooms are emerging and they always look especially delightful with added sunlight.

I'm not going to write a description of each picture, I think they can tell a story themselves. Why not click on the first one to enlarge it, then scroll through and see what caught my eye when we ventured on a  walk from HERE and stopped for lunch HERE

Waterside walking, rolling hills, gushing streams, old trees, bird spotting and craftsmen working. Drifts of perfectly dainty Snowdrops in a natural setting. A stately home with clean loos and a warm cafe with a tasty treat. An old village, rooftops and Catkins....and not too much mud. Plus it was only half an hours drive from home. Could this be the perfect winter walk? Yesterday is certainly felt like it.
What a lovely day.
