Evening Snow

I found this little beauty in our back garden one day last week - and I just couldn't resist getting my camera out...

Days of Snow

I must confess that I'm hardly a great artist - but I just love messing around with different media!
I created this one with good old-fashioned coloured pencils and paper (and more than a little help from my nieces and nephews, since they helped me to colour it in).

Although I originally created it a few months ago, I thought it would be appropriate for now, considering the Arctic weather that we're having at the moment.

As for the little ones...
well, they're just enjoying the snowball fights. ;-)

A Single Berry

It's freezing here in the UK at the minute! It snowed for most of last week - and it looks as if the bad weather is set to continue for a while yet.

Anyway, I took this one on Friday. This is a close-up of the view I get of one of our holly trees from my study window. We have two beautiful holly trees - and this is what they look like covered in snow.

I wish they had more berries on them, though. Sadly, the birds ate them all. :-(

Barren Beauty

I can never resist the stark beauty of nature in winter...

Winter in March?

Well, it is actually, since the weatherman's promise of snow seems to have come true (at least in the part of the UK where I live, anyway). We've had spring-like weather for the past couple of months (with the exception of the odd cold spell), so to have all of this snow and rain dumped on us over the past couple of days has left me feeling down - and that's to say the least!

Yes I know, it's been a couple of months since my last post. Sadly, I've been busy.

I've still managed to find time to take some photos, though.

I called this one Morning Dreams as it was taken on my way to our park a couple of months ago.

The sun was rising, bathing the sky in a beautiful reddish-orange glow - and I just couldn't resist it...
