Watching the Seasons

I didn't quite manage a walk this week as we're visiting friends and family down south but I did manage a photo of the canal from the start of my walk before we left for the weekend.

It's amazing how much the view has changed over the seasons so far. It was definitely rainy rather than icy this week but still very wintry. Below are three pictures of the canal from early September, late November and this week.

I'm surprised by how much the colour changes because it's only the leaves that are missing. It'll be a while until new buds come through but I'm keeping an eye out so I can record it on the Woodland Trusts Nature's Calendar
