I just braved the freezing fog, determined to find some natural colour in the hedgerows and garden. It's in isolated spots but it's still out there. The pink Daphne blossom (second from right at the top) and yellow winter-flowering Jasmine (centre) have to be my favourite right now.
Thankyou once again for the wonderfully uplifting and colourful contributions this month. It's been lovely to take a few minutes here and there amongst the mad dash and enjoy these images and blogposts. I've made three more mosaics from the SOC Flickr pool. Along with the red one from my last post I hope they make your eyes happy this morning:

Next month's Splash of Colour will begin on Monday 3rd January. The post holiday slump may have hit by then so I think we might be needing a boost.
Edited to add: I'll be drawing the winner of the jewelled wreath later today and will announce it next time - there's still time to pop a comment here.
