Winter Magic

I can honestly say I am really looking forward to spring right now but this winter has had it's magical moments it has to be said. I thought I would post this photo as it is one of my favourites of last year and turned out to be a Christmas present for my dad. It was taken on that day in early December (You'll know the one I mean if you live in around here) when there was a thick hoar frost covering every available surface. It was really a site to see, stunning. Henry shouted 'Mummy! why is there sugar on all the trees?' I couldn't have put it better myself. There was a light mist hanging in the air, flecks of frost glitter floating and glinting in the sun and the sky was bright blue. Henry and his grandad were collecting wood and larking around in the orchard, having fun. I was snapping away with my macro lens at the jewel-like trees and turned around just in time to capture this moment. Henry's expression says it all. This is what I love about photography, being able to capture moments like this are what it is all about as far as I am concerned.
