Some of you will have seen my snow photographs from a couple of weeks ago – I experimented with going out at night and using the flash – with minimum success. Unfortunately I didn’t think to take the same image in the morning to see the difference.
Definitely prefer daytime images.
Many thanks to Sofia, for this weeks challenge – day and night.
Cathy at Nanacathydotcom is having a monthly photo challenge. January’s Challenge is Tree and Sky. I have decided to combine my two, to celebrate once more our snowfall of last week. We haven’t had much blue sky this winter either so great to celebrate that too.
Sky and trees and some of my favourite things, so many thanks to Cathy for this month’s challenge.
I was going to share lots of dramatic coastal images and then it snowed last night, which dramatically changed our landscape. So here are some snowy images – we don’t get snow often and when we do it quickly goes, so I never miss an opportunity to get some photographs.
But I thought I’d still share some of those coastal images too from the dramatic west coast of Ireland.
Many thanks to Patti for this week challenge theme – dramatic.
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.
