Diversion

I'm diverting away from my Cumbria photos to bring you a weather bulletin:

It came...




covering everything with its own little fluffy white hat,





making the holly look belatedly Christmassy,


confusing the kerria beyond words


and burying both snowdrops and crocuses.

The daffs poked their noses out to see what was going on


and the blackbirds hopped around searching for food.


Now, it is busily melting.

  2. Send some this way! The western part of the US is unusually warm for this time of year and we haven't had snow like we should....Oh well, last year was just the opposite so I guess we just take what we get:) Enjoy!

  3. You really ought to write children's books, illustrated with your photographs. You are a natural. Your garden looks so beautiful adorned in its perfectly white snowy mantle.

  7. Lovely. Everything looked so pretty this morning in the garden, plenty of tracks of cat, fox and birds as I ventured out to the bird feeders and broke the ice on the bird bath. It seems to be thawing now though and I thought I just heard rain on the conservatory roof; that will wash it all away:)
