    It is sublime tracery. I do not recall seeing this sort of frost shot from you before. Memory fails.

      No I think this is one I have not posted. A frosty morn provides so many shots it is hard to pick what to post. Also I find that sometimes things I rejected for the blog turn out to be quite pleasing when looking back some time later.

The end

I retire from the workforce this week and to celebrate have decided to retire my current blogs and start afresh with a single consolidated blog -  My Bright Field  - to record the delights of my new life adventure.
