Six on Saturday – 19th February 2022
Seeing other Six on Saturday participants popping into my reader box, I feel the urge to get gardening, except it is very , very, wet and for the last few days stormy too! But then this morning we had SNOW! There was only a little and it quickly started to melt, but it makes the garden look pretty even if underneath everything is sodden. Many thanks for our host “The Propagator” for hosting Six on Saturday. Check out the participation guide.
First this week a friendly garden robin (my daughter calls him Timmy), puffed up against the cold.

Next, daffodils, tete-a-tete, copying with a dusting on snow.

Third, frog spawn in garden pond – also trying to cope with slushy snow. Frogs arrived, like last year, in time for Valentines day. So far numbers are low, thirty at most, but hopefully more will come after this cold spell.

Fourth, hazel catkins with melting snow.

Fifth, willow catkins. The last few years these seem to acome earlier and earlier. There are even some green leaves on this Salix rubra.

And finally this week – snowdrops in snow.

Lens artist photo challenge – Cold
We have had a few cold frost mornings the last few weeks. The one advantage of a frosty morning is usually a bright start to the day.
Of course there is noting more magical than snow, we haven’t had any yet this winter.
We don’t get it very often here on the west coast of Ireland but we love it when we do.

Above the sky is grey, but we haven’t had anymore snow since very early this morning and Storm Emma has gone. Wedneday’s daffodils are a bit deeper in snow. And the school is closed so we can have some fun in the snow.
