Russet-brown grasses and seedheads.
Surprised that I had chosen so many red and gold toned images for my In Praise of January post earlier this month, I thought I would dedicate a post to their softer, gentler, and less exuberant cousins: those which belong to the earth-tone colour palette. I looked through my January and February photo archives for such images from the last ten years, and below is a variety of photos taken in different weather and light conditions.

Miscanthus grass after rain 
Dried stems against a leaden sky 
Ploughed earth and crop stubble 
Winter trees on a Wiltshire hillside 
Lakeside grasses and reeds 
A soup of leaves in mud! 
A shady path 
Tyre tracks on a dull wet day 
Muddy murky reflections 
Winter sowing on a dull day 
The gate to where ……. 
Sun-warmed twigs by a crop field 
Greeting the morning! 
A Spring Peek
