Frosty morning

We are braving the freezing cold this morning, we are due our yellow fever injections ready for our two week vacation to Gambia in two weeks time.
Yesterday when the fog lifted the birds tormented me...we had starlings, sparrows, blackbirds and doves including our 'valentine' doves. They were happily playing in both the front and back gardens swooping in to collect their feed, but never long enough for me to catch them on camara. As you can see on the photo the garden is very still. The doves are around because we can hear there usual call coming down our chimney. There aren't many days when they don't coo to us. There are birds in the far off trees but not close enough to photograph at the moment.....When i see the garden white over as it is today i always think how nice it would be if it was christmas day.....maybe one year we could save all the presents and turkey dinner until we have a day like today.... Once the mist lifts and i have returned from the surgery i am hoping the birds will be kinder and stay a little longer in one place so i can add them to todays post.
