Holly, Holly berries, Holly flowers

There seems to me no better example of our changing climate and the confusion it’s causing in the natural world than this: finding one Holly tree in flower and others carrying berries all at the same time. In fact, the photo of the flowers, which are supposed to bloom during the spring and early summer, was taken at the beginning of this month, two weeks after that of the berries.

A colour splash

It’s grey today, with heavy rain, so I felt the need for a splash of colour to brighten the day. The vivid pinks of Spindle, the deep reds of Yew, wild rose hips, and Holly certainly buoyed my spirits – I hope you also find them cheering, whatever your weather.

Holly, Holly berries

After a difficult year for most of us, today will be an even more difficult day for many, unable to see their loved ones and friends. But, Christmas will come again and things will eventually get better so, please, be merry safely today!
