Just a very simple iPhone shot this week, but it’s to remind me how lovely our walks to nursery are on winter mornings. I haven’t tweaked this at all – it really was the colour of the sky this morning.

For once I remembered to take my camera with me this morning, and after I’d dropped DorkySon at nursery I spent about twenty minutes messing around with it in the park. All the webs look so beautiful when they’re covered in dew, butI really need to get a tripod so that I can do my macro lens justice.
