The prickly beast. Holly is a wonderful sight at this time of year; the drab greys and browns of the surroundings are put to shame by it's bold green. I adore the way each leaf looks like someone has painstakingly polished and buffed it to shiny perfection.
A rigid leaf with alarmingly sharp spikes which don't soften with age, the long dead leaf litter on the ground poses precisely the same threat.
No sign of any berries left now, I hope the hungry birds have a stash somewhere else to draw from.
Gorgeous photos again Sophie,I dont know how you manage to think of all these things to write,every time I see the viewers photos after the weather I expect to see your name there. Hope everything is ok with you.Pete x

The blackbirds and woodpigeons had stripped mine totally before December had even begun
