February, the shortest month of winter, brings mists and rain.
"Late February days; and now, at last, Might you have thought that winter's woe was past; So fair the sky was and so soft the air."
~ William Morris
just for a few days then it felt like spring was coming!
view to the swamps on River Czarna; some years ago the local beavers decided to show stupid humans what real landscape architecture is so this is the reasult!
Please forgive my excitement for having seen this male Comma in the garden today! It was unseasonably warm enough to sit out for a bit today and along came this beauty and stayed while I dashed for the macro lens 😊!!
It isn't the shot I intended for this weeks theme but as it gave a February 'lift' to me, I hope it does you too!!

A photo looking across the south end of Rock Creek Lake from the fishing pier. The melting ice and snow makes fascinating patterns across the lake's surface.

A dense blanket of fog enveloping the high plains of the Texas Panhandle. This was quite the unusual scene to wake up to. We usually don't experience enough humidity for fog. It looked like another world out there. The tree in the photo is a Shumard red oak.

".A strange amazing day that comes only once every four years. For the rest of the time it does not 'exist.' In mundane terms, it marks a 'leap' in time, when the calendar is adjusted to make up for extra seconds accumulated over the preceding three years due to the rotation of the earth. A day of temporal tune up! But this day holds another secret — it contains one of those truly rare moments of delightful transience and light uncertainty that only exist on the razor edge of things, along a buzzing plane of quantum probability...A day of unlocked potential. Will you or won't you? Should you or shouldn't you? Use this day to do something daring, extraordinary and unlike yourself. Take a chance and shape a different pattern in your personal cloud of probability!"

Trees and telegraph poles silhouetted against February skies in countryside near the tiny village of Stert (population 176) in Wiltshire.
A rare flower and the only Erythronium of Europe. Needs humididy through the summer so tends to be found at mid altitude. Here it is out of its general habitat aside a river. The bulb looks like a dogs tooth and the leaves are extraordinary and verging on the succulent - looking like rainbow trout and inspiring the friendly name 'trout lily'. With the fritillaria, Cypripedium Calceolus, and Lilium martagon, the "Erythronium dens-canis" is one of the graphic wild flowers, and flowering from mid February, it joins in with other modest bulbs in kicking out winter from the ground up.
"The bulb is edible as a root vegetable, cooked or dried, and can be ground into flour. The leaves can also be cooked as a leaf vegetable. In Japan, Erythronium japonicum is called katakuri, and the bulb is processed to produce starch, which is used for food and other purposes." Wiki
