Saturday 19 December 2009: North wind

The temperature was around freezing all morning with a biting north wind, but the light was clear and bright. These olive trees at the top of the hill above our garden were being blown by the wind and showing the beautiful silvery undersides of their leaves.

I blipped this tree and the mazet behind it in September - here - so you can see the difference between summer and winter vines!
