Lovely composition. Often see herons by my garden pond. They a apparently like gold fish!

Lovely atmosphere Carole

Your sky captures warmth along with the bitter chill of the landscape. We don’t see many herons round here sadly. I know for some people they are a nuisance but still good to see!

A wonderful setting to place the silhouette of this elegant bird Carole. Great colour combination.

The snow has its advantages in making a mundane place look special. Tried to capture the beauty of an early winter morning on the Coquet estuary, between Amble and Warkworth, in Northumberland. Soft pastels on pastelmat 12” x 16”.
