Ice and Leaves.

Walking Ollie,my springer spaniel, down by the River Whiteadder at Edington in the Scottish Borders my eye was drawn toward the colourful autumnal norway maple leaves amid the drab, decay of previous fallen leaves.

Later,on another walk with Ollie,we were upriver following a track and this time I was attracted by the patterns in the icy puddles.

About Phil Mclean

Hi, my name is Phil Mclean. I'm a nature photographer living in Berwickshire,in the Scottish Borders.I enjoy photographing all aspects of nature,from the birds and the bees,to the mammals and the trees. I just love being out in the countryside whenever possible and preferably with a camera. Although I do make it difficult for myself,as I'm normally accompanied by my photographic assistant, Ollie,my springer spaniel dog. I hope you'll enjoy the pictures that I post and if you have the time and the inclination,please leave a comment. Thanks.
