On a trip back from Kendal near Shap quarry there were some incredible ice formations.

An waterfall of ice.
 |
| These icicles look like dreadlocks |
The snow and ice look as though they have been poured.
 |
| Rods of ice |
Amazing icicles.
 |
| Witches fingernails |
The ice looks like an arm and fingernails.
 |
| Look at the contrast of the lichen on the rock and the ice |
Ice daggers.
 |
| These icicles are like birds claws |

Conifer trees weighed down with snow.

| Winter wonderland |
Snow on the Pennine hills emphasises the forests.

| All the contours disappear with the snow |
A dramatic view of sky, snow and hills.

Spring cleaning I found this old leaflet.

On a visit to Hayes Garden Centre there was an oversize chair and spade.

It is the time of year for marmalade making and the Seville oranges are only in the shops for a few weeks. You soak the fruit and juice overnight and them cook them the following day. The house has a comforting fruity aroma when marmalade making.

Marmalade pulp.

| Finely sliced oranges |
Bottled marmalade.
 |
| It tastes delicious and has a good texture |
I made these bird houses this week.

Lovely evening skies. This one is a mackerel sky as the clouds look like the scales of a mackerel.
