Winter in the Orchard...

Welcome to our latest set of images from Rivers Orchard in the depths of winter.

Recent winters have both seen heavy snow and one of the mildest winters on record to date in December 2011.
The orchard appears to shut down, but close up, life goes on as these photos confirm.
Images courtesy of Lorraine Winser and Eugene Keddy to whom we express our gratitude.
