Wintery morning

LaFoto · Mar 1, 2005

So last Thursday we had some snow. And I thought it would be the only mentionable amount we'd get (never knowing what was in store for us this morning...!). I went out to take some photos. Would you care to take a look?

The lake in our village

The 'famous' sheep barn in our village
('Famous' because it is on the village viewcard - for lack of any other sights)

The sun as it "shone" at that moment only while I was out and about
(later it came out and the snow melted away in no time at all!)

Some very mistaken flowers on a tree in somebody's front garden

The front of my friend's house

The snowdrops in our garden

Snow 'under the influence of sun'

Cool shots. Love them all. The first two really grab my attention.

Cheers,

The first one is really nice.

yeah, I love the first and second! Great shots! :thumbup:

Thank you all. I took about 20 of that sheep barn because of it's "notoriety" (erm... weeellll... the village hasn't got any more sights, other than the church, maybe) and this is not the only good one. Do you care to see some more?

Very nice shots and together they make a great series. I must join the club, number one and two I like the best. Good job.

Oh, LaFoto, I absolutely love the sheep barn -- both its architecture and your rendition of it. And the snow drops -- wow!

Your "Mistaken flowers" reminds me of our situation here in PA, USA. I waited all winter for snow, but we had such mild weather that by the end of January the daffodil leaves were up about 3 inches. Finally, I gave up on winter/snow and started longing for Spring. Then, last week, I found our first crocus bloom. Ah, yes, Spring at last. The very next day we got 4 inches of snow. When it melted 2 days later, the crocus was still there but looking shabby -- bent over and broken. Yesterday we got 4 more inches. Gosh, you can just never tell. :lmao:
