Ice Mushroom …

… a rare variety, next to the stream I was following this morning. There has probably been no sun in this valley since the beginning of November, and our recent fine weather, with no snow, has allowed the ice crystals to grow.

Thanks so much for the presents for yesterday’s clouds, a new Swiss blipper, SlothHiker, saw them too https://www.blipfoto.com/entry/2934368451327691325. He or she must live in the Valais I think, certainly a beautiful part of Switzerland. I counted 6 new Swiss blippers after the TV slot on RTS, the presenter having been inspired by the Guardian article on climate change.
