Between Brecon & Sennybridge, Wales, UK



On New Year's day, we had a rare event in south west Powys - we had a severe air frost. It had been dry, and although the ground wasn't all frosted, the winter trees and bushes looked stunning We went for a walk and took some photos, which I have finally gotten around to sharing. This picture of a very white world was taken near Llanspyddid, about 2 miles from home:



and here's a close up of some Rosebay willowherb:


and some cow parsley:

and some ferns:


We drove a mile or two further to Cwm Camlais and found some lovely frosted conifers:


and an extremely friendly robin:





and quite a friendly horse:





We found some beautiful iced spiders webs:



and icy branches in the hedges:









and the frost even made the wire fencing look pretty!



but this is my favourite scene of the day:

with this close up looking almost as good:
