Ingredients for a pleasant surprise…
- Go out for a drive in the snow (bring camera and sensible footwear)
- Take lots of photographs of snowy winter wonderland
- Get too cold and go home for hot soup
- Quickly transfer photos to computer (while soup is heating up)
- Promptly forget all about photos
- A couple of months later – find “100 CANON” folder on desktop and think what’s in here?
These photos are from over the Christmas holidays and I don’t think it’s ever been so cold for so long before. Although we didn’t actually get that much snow up here because it was so cold it didn’t thaw out for over 3 weeks. Not so good for getting about but it was so pretty!
I went out to take some winter landscape photos but in the end it was the beautiful ice crystals all over the vegetation that caught my eye. I’ve never seen anything like it, every plant was absolutely covered in delicate little shards of ice twinkling in the winter sunlight.
As lovely as it looked I’m glad it’s finally starting to warm up here now though, I’m definitely ready for spring!

Wow…I love these images! I’d frame them and hang them on my wall.
I really like the way that the frost picks out the structure of these plants. Loveley photos
