The Warmth of January Sunlight . . .
When the Honey-Gold Sun Pours Warm Over the Garden, Winter Can Be So Lovely

My climbing hydrangeas look like that now and it is the middle of summer here in Tasmania, Australia…no snow to blame here…only the newfound interest and degustatory delight of our local native wallabies :(
No, no, Wally! Wallabies eat hydrangea? How can such a cute animal be so bad? Do they gnaw the bark, defoliate or simply consume the entire plant? Dratted beasties. So upsetting.
Such uplifting photos, as always M; but totally in love with the glow of backlit Beech in “A Winter’s Day”… hugs D.
Thank you, Deb ;) The tardy-to-depart beech leaves really are a gift at this time of year. xox M
I love eavesdropping on their gentle whispers when passing by in winter woods: )
