Walking in the forest on a crisp, cold morning after a heavy frost is like strolling through nature’s jewellery store. The sun, low in the sky, turns simple dew drops into glittering diamonds.

Even those stems bereft of foliage held onto the occasional glistening droplet.

I was like a child in a sweet shop, I couldn’t get enough of this amazing beauty.

The gems would disappear as the sun climbed, but for now I was content to experience another of nature’s treats.
