It has been snowing here for a few days and today I managed to get out and about the business park where I work to take some photos:-

| One of the many icy ponds! |
 |
| A crow keeps watch. |
 |
| 2 of the resident Coots. |
 |
| A tranquil snow scene. |
 |
| Beautiful red Dogwood branches. |
 |
| I was attracted to this lovely green lichen with ice. |
 |
| A female Mallard duck errr ice breaker!!! |
 |
She was really efficient but also clever by
following an existing channel which
had refrozen but which was thinner ice! | |
|
 |
| She's really going for it. |
 |
The leaping salmon makes a great look out
post for the Gulls!
|
 |
| Lovely snow capped Mahonia. |
And back at home my cyclamen were covered in snow but look how pretty the patterns are - the snow followed the shape of the leaves to make these lovely "snow hearts"!!
 |
| A cyclamen snow heart ahh cute! |
 |
My second daffodil to flower
the first one got eaten! | |
Such pretty snow pictures. The duck and the cyclamen hearts are very cute indeed. I am loving all the white winter pics appearing on all the blogs. Cools me down in our heat!
ReplyDeleteHi Patricia
DeleteOh yes I have heard how the Antipodes are suffering with 45C or so - too much for me too!! Hope it cools soon for you. Have a great weekend, SAx
Very lovely winter/snow pictures! :-) Have a HAPPY week! :-)
ReplyDeleteAhh thank you HappyFace :-) You have a great weekend, SAx
DeleteHow lovely! We haven't got any daffodils yet but their leaves are poking through the snow a little bit. Lots of snowdrops have been buried under the snow, hope their OK.
ReplyDeleteSeriously hoping it melts and we can get back to normal ASAP!

Hi PP- ah well the snow will be keeping the flowers "warm" - warmer than if no snow and lots of frost! Am sure they will look gorgeous once it all melts and they can flower. I tin you should be thawing good and proper by Saturday! SAx
DeleteWhat a lovely work setting you have! very peaceful looking, such a clever duck following an existing channel! x
ReplyDeleteHi Elle- well it was a female duck LOL! Yes it is very pleasant at work whatever the season. I am quite lucky only it is miles from any shops so you have to drive out for them! Have a great weekend, SAx
DeleteAwesome pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Cassie! SA:-)
DeleteLove the cyclamen snow heart! Very romantic.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these photos SA :-)

Hi Anne - you're welcome glad you like, SA:-)
ReplyDeleteThe cyclamen snow hearts - and the lichen - are as delightful as the scarves you photograph! You have a great eye for beauty.
