A Frosty January Day & An August Contrast

The last days have have been cold and clear, great for photos - But I am frustrated as I am convalescing, and limited to taking photos of garden birds through the window. A Blackbird on a frosty wall this morning.

However, I now have time to go back through some summer photos. All these taken the same evening in August 2011 around Steps Hill near Ivinghoe Beacon.
