Snow on the hills

From the Filnore Woods viewpoint yesterday, I could see snow on the Cotswolds.

But actually there was a fair bit in Filnore Woods too.

The benches looked a bit cold for sitting.

Walking on I found this fat, sticky bud on a horse chestnut sapling, full of spring promise. 

The resin on the outside of the bud scales helps to protect the new leaves inside from the cold.
