Cold And Not Quite Sunny......

I snapped these horses grazing in their field at 08.25 am yesterday, on my way to work on a bitterly cold and icy morning.

This eight month old cygnet is still in adolescent plumage, and makes the most adorable high-pitched squeaky noises ! He was splashing in the water of the lake, right next to where ice had formed. About two-thirds of the lake was frozen over yesterday morning...... and yes, it was pretty dark still !
