It’s finally February! The month of hope and the promise of spring.
Sadly, Snowdrop Valley won’t be open this year. So we thought we share some photos from last year with you. Lin Selley posted them in our FB Photo Group.

The Skies over Hadden Hill
Last Monday when we had the most beautiful snow day on Exmoor, Andrea Corrie took these two phots at Hadden Hill.
Memories of Exmoor
With the weather having gone back to being grey, damp and cold, it is nice to look back at photos which show Exmoor under a warm, blue sky. Sarah Hailstone and her dog Jack go for (very) long walks across Exmoor every day. Sarah runs her own blog (Discover Exmoor with Jack) and regularly very kindly shares her photos with us.
Now sit back and dream of Exmoor….

Snow at Court Down
“Just a reminder of Mondays wonderful weather over Court Down as we seem to be back to grey skies. Noticed a few traces of planes around in the sky. Keep cheerful, keep well.”

Kingfishers
These most beautiful birds can be spotted at many locations on Exmoor. While most of us will just see a flash of iridescent blue, Michael Fook managed to capture some outstanding photos:
Dusk at the Valley of Rocks
Rebecca Crush went for a late afternoon walk at the Valley of Rocks and took these photos for us:
Morning visit
“So I looked out of the kitchen window and saw a lovely sunrise plus some hinds on the hill. As I had finally got around to buying a tripod, which arrived yesterday, I thought great, I’ll photograph those. Something made me look right and yippee! The stags had decided to pay me a visit! They hung around for an hour despite me letting my dogs out and we then watched them nonchalantly jump into our bracken bank before sauntering off into our woods. It’s not often you get to photograph deer whilst still in pj’s ( it was a bit nippy!) from outside the kitchen!”
