January's jewels - the beautiful colours of nature

Nature's cheery colours

On a cold January day in an otherwise mundane environment I found this shrub, resplendent in its red jewels, along the side of a shopping centre car park!

Bright red berries

Then, still in January, I was walking by the canal on a damp and misty day and was taken with the lovely hues of the moss clinging to the stones. So vivid and alive..

Rich green moss

Towards the end of the month this sunrise was superbly rich and awe-inspiring.

When January seems cold, damp and miserable just remember nature can still dazzle and lift our spirits!
