White at Night

 Today the forecast said snow by noon.  At 2pm the first flurries were seen and by 10pm this was the result.  The low wall at the edge of the garden is 12 inches high, as are the step treads.

 The photographs are taken from inside the conservatory using flash on a general aperture setting at slow shutter speed.  Outside, the temperature was well below zero (-3°C) and there was little evidence of wildlife, except for a few cat paw prints to the cat flap.

It looks like a cold night and a snowy one too.  I feel a lay-in coming on........!
