Monday's snowfall left us with a crisp blue day and and unexpected carpet of whiteness. Because it was not forecasted the roads weren't gritted and spoiled!
I took a walk after dropping the children at school and was the first to tread where I went. It's a joyful feeling. In fact it literally made my heart sing.
I'm getting a lot of pleasure from my new camera (Canon EOS 500D). Just the standard lens seems to take lovely pictures.
This robin sang as he ate the bread I'd put out. He was calling his friends...
... and I found these beautiful skeletal Chinese Lantern hearts in my friend Pippa's garden.
... now the thaw has come.
I agree, it is a sweet thing to walk through the snow first. Your hearts capture one of the best parts of spring!
ReplyDeleteyour robins are so much cuter than ours, I miss England!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos..
ReplyDeleteI saw my first robin in Crete, last week whilst digging the allotment over. It brought a lump to my throat as I always associate them with my deceased grandfather, he's found me! No doubt he'll have something to say about my gardening technique here!!
Take care
Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is so pretty, and your photos are beautiful.

ReplyDeleteI have not seen any robins yet, I think it's going to be awhile here still.
The hearts are so lovely, and your photos are fabulous!
