In front gardens on residential streets around here, yuccas which are treating the middle of the hardest winter for several years as their flowering season.

The full moon, late January. Early in the morning, it was shining through thin cloud. The halo of light surrounding the moon had a faint rainbow efffect.

Ear fungus, found all year round, growing for preference on elder. Seems to have a wide range of different textures – these on a fallen elder branch looked velvety.

These wood blweit mushrooms seemed to be thriving despite the frequent sub-zero temperatures. They were even producing new fruiting bodies.

Frosts and what is beginning to feel like regular snowfalls, but these daffodils at Bantock Park look like the flowers will be starting to open soon.

Snowy January, so lots of birds coming to the feeders. Here, some more bluetits.
