Strabrechtse Heide, near Heeze

I've not been posting as many photographs as I want to, especially not selecting and describing them. Charles Vermeulen was asking me about my photo's I made at the Strabrechtse Heide (Heide is Dutch for Heath) at the end of 2004. It was nice frosty weather, and the sheep were almost having an aura at sundown:

Lighted sheep from another angle:

I like lens flare, so I took another picture of the sheep with a wider angle:

And a wide view of the heath from beneath a range of trees, with rainbow colored lens flare:

Further down the path, my sister spotted these frozen leaves:

And some 'kattjes' (I'm not a biologist. If anyone knows the correct english for these things, feel free to let me know)
