The First Snow

Thursday, November 25th 2010

Foxglove has been transformed by the first snows of winter.

Frozen lake and hide

This morning the lake was almost frozen over and snow covered everything in a soft, white blanket.

Rosehips covered in snow

Clive came to fill all the bird feeders for us and the birds were almost waiting for him to do it! A Robin landed at his feet to pick up the dropped seed.

Colours other than white shone out like jewels. The last yellow leaves on the Silver Birch, the orange needles on the Larch and these rosehips, looking like rubies against the muted background.

Having a sense of place and connectedness, being grounded is important for our general wellbeing and mental health. This is an invitation to pause and explore what being in nature can offer you.

Enjoy an afternoon of wellbeing starting with some mind awareness followed by a gentle walk where you get to listen, smell and watch what is around you and connect with any feelings which arise.
