Trip around the garden

And took a few photos. The top one are all the dead leaves fro the Acer. We usually leave them on the plant to protect the new shoots from the cold, but I put a few on the ground for any of the little animals that need to keep warm in their homes!!
The bottom two are the Mahonia -which is smelling gorgeous, the the other one of the tiny Cyclamen which are just coming up all around the garden
