Autumn leaves...


The snow and ice that blighted the southern counties of the UK a week ago has passed, and at the moment the worst case scenario we have to deal with is overnight frosts. Air temperatures, although dipping below zero during the night, are making a respectable recovery during the day, helped no doubt by the cloud cover that blankets the South.

In spite of the mercury reaching 6˚C, the lake of Poole Park, Dorset, has a thin layer of ice - in places thick enough to support the weight of a gull - and it's here that the autumn leaves, trapped beneath the frozen surface, catch my eye.
