Icicles

These icicles have been formed from water splashing from a mountain stream onto an overhanging branch of heather. The rocks are glistening with ice too.

So one day while on holiday we decided to go looking for snakes and so we set off across the heath and we searched high and low, well not high because it was all low growing gorse, heather and bracken.  Anyway we didn't find any snakes but it was fun all the same.  

The pictures above were taken along the way.  The first two are of the gorse thorns and the third picture is of some of the heather flowers that were blossoming all around us.
