All is dry in winter time.
The park we often go to to catch some macro shots is basically very small pine forest with some nice paths for people to jog, lots bushes and wildflower. In spring and early summer it all looks quite spectacular.
But last month, as we went there to see what is happening there was hardly anything. Few single flowers, some mushrooms, lichens and all the drying and dying plants and leaves.
That's ok - I can shoot those :)
Just like the Erica below. Those are also flower leftovers that didn't drop yet. They will before new growths and flowers show up. And those I know exactly when will bloom, so I will definitely go and shoot again some lovely, little, lilac bells. They are stunning. And since it is warmer (around March-April) they will be able so bees and butterflies around them.
Not much happening now, but when the right time comes I will be able to spend hour and hours walking around between the blooming bushes and enjoying the tall pines, birds and bugs.

Want to have your post on the map too?
A dried out snail paradise? I wonder where they go in the winter.
No clue.. but I see snail shells high on the plants stems. Most of them is empty though. Just sitting there.
They probably just lay eggs and only live one year.
It could be... I never thought of that.
I've seen them seal themselves into their shells too. Maybe they bury themselves and seal up the opening for winter.
That I have seen too. But why on top of the plants where they can be easily spotted by birds?
