Snow Cobwebs

Taken in my lovely Sister-in-law's garden on Christmas morning 2009; the everpresent spider webs that seem to thrive in Irish gardens were frosted with a heavy hoar frost, so heavy the entire countryside gave the illusion of a real White Christmas. The spider webs were something I have never seen before and I think they came out very well.

Hedgerow, Curragh Co KIldare

Another from Christmas Morning 2009 on the Curragh; a detail of hedgerow along the edge of the Curragh, Co Kildare. Frosted in the freezing morning air the entire hedge was a confection of brittle white beauty.
