I love the jagged angles of bare oak branches. #alithemindfulgardener #oaktrees #woodlandtrust #mindfulness #mindfulmoments #ukcountryside #kentcountryside #winterwoodland #ukcountryside #stillmoments

The rising sun cradled in an oak tree. #alithemindfulgardener #magicalmoments #winterlight #winterwoodland #kentcountryside #visitkent #englishcountryside #ukcountryside #woodlandtrustuk #stillmoments #tostandandstare #mystoryoflight #olympusuk #peninpractice

In winter, I am usually driving to work as the sun is coming up. Some mornings are so beautiful that I want to stop the car and take photos. #englishcountryside #misty #mistymorning #alithemindfulgardener #uklandscape #kentishvillages #kentcountryside

It was a rimy morning, and very damp. I had seen the damp lying on the outside of my little window, as if some goblin had been crying there all night, and using the window for a pocket-handkerchief. Now, I saw the damp lying on the bare hedges and spare grass, like a coarser sort of spiders’ webs; hanging itself from twig to twig and blade to blade. On every rail and gate, wet lay clammy; and the marsh-mist was so thick, that the wooden finger on the post directing people to our village – a direction which they never accepted, for they never came there – was invisible to me until I was quite close under it. Then, as I looked up at it, while it dripped, it seemed to my oppressed conscience like a phantom devoting me to the Hulks.

The rosehips are topped with a twisted coronet. A little disorder and dishevelment is more interesting than perfect symmetry. #rosehips #frosty #frost #frostygarden #rosarugosa #imperfections #mindfulnoments #ofsimplethings #myeverydaymagic
