Nature's amazing colours !

Trunk of young birch tree.

Despite the weather being bitterly cold Mr P and I went out with our cameras on Monday afternoon.
As I walked along the side of the lake near where we live, I didn't think I would find anything in the grey cold that would inspire me.

THEN - there I saw this gift of nature - the colours are as they were, not altered at all.
Nature in all its greyness gave me this to take the cold away.

Amazing !!!
