My monthly visit to Kew was cold! Kristina, Nancy and myself drank steaming hot coffee before donning our hats, gloves and scarves to begin our walk.
The gardens seemed bare but full of promise. The massive trees that had provided such an impact of autumn colour last year, were on a completely different scale to the delights of this winter day:
These were the tiniest cyclamen I have ever seen.
This little robin was incredibly tame and had I had any crumbs, he would have eaten from my hand.
He was hopping around, in and out of some tiny fungi, hugely interested in what we were doing!
I couldn’t resist getting my camera right down into the thick of things.
Colour wise, these cornus were the stars of the show.
I have some of the red ones in my front garden but I will definitely be on the look out for these amazing orangey/pink ones.
Or perhaps some yellow or green ones. They added a welcome burst of colour and texture to the gardens.

Oh, you got such lovely pictures of the sweet robin! Kew without so many leaves and flowers was still so full of great things to see.

Your robin photos are delightful! Lucy x
ReplyDeleteYour robin photo really is one of the best I have ever seen. I'd kill to be as close to a robin as that. The one in my garden can be such a nervous little thing. x
