Mucho snow and frost, mucho Ashdown Forest – and hints of sketching and of MJCarty! A few personal highlights from January 2025, captured in tiny wee snapshots.
This is my latest monthly selection of snapshots of things that caught my eye over these past few weeks, comprising the month of January 2025 (but starting with an image or two from the closing days of 2024, picking up from the day I published my previous monthly snapshot selection).

Saturday 11 January 2025: Just one soul
The belief of just one soul in you can make all the difference. Who was or is that one soul who believed in you? Words from my post Just one soul.
Friday 10 January 2025: Stay frosty
Through the frost, the forest.
Monday 13 January 2025: Return to doodlage, return of moon
The world in your eyes.
My first attempt at doodling in probably more than a year.
Feeling somewhat rusty, but I really enjoyed it, all the same.
Moonrise.
