Colour in December

Things are not as monochrome as you might imagine in winter.  

The bright green fronds of harts tongue fern are prolific where the soil is slightly alkaline.

The fluffy seed heads of Old Man's Beard, the wild clematis, 
are draped over bushes and trees. 




 On old dead elder wood there are the deep red fruiting bodies of Jelly Ear Fungus.

What sight is more refreshing than the silver-white bark of birches against a blue winter sky?
