I have just been to stand at the back door and it is perfect out there..so still and the apple tree's branches are laced with snow against the sky , it looks just like a Christmas card :))

Hi Rose

Have you taken photos?......a picture well taken is poetry too :-)

Have you seen the Xmas trees outside the back of BHS Rose? They looked lovely this morning with the snowfall we had then, with the lights twinkling. I might take my camera with me in the morning to see if i can capture it on film. I haven't had the chance to take photo's in the snow with my camera since I've had it.

I was thinking about it Susan , but I don't think there is enough light... I am a great one for rushing around taking photos of snow, trees, light effects...will maybe get up early and catch it at dawn :)

Do try for that Helen it will be pretty, there are two small conifers in the garden here and they look like the little snowy Christmas cake decorations :)

EVERY NIGHT AS I LOCK UP I TAKE
A FEW MINS TO LOOK AROUND
MY GARDEN IS VERY SMALL BUT TONIGHT
WITH FLUTTERING SNOW IT TAKES ON
A SECRET GARDEN VEIW

I like to have photos of my own making next to a poem I may have written......my son likes to do this too. We make them into books. Unpublished but in the family.

It is just like a secret garden Dizzi...or what was that book...'Tom's Midnight Garden' :)

That's a lovely idea Susan, and how special for family in the future :)

No snow yet here in darkest Essex.

I took some photos when we had the snow last Feb. I was quite suprised how well they came out. I think it was because they almost look black & white. So the contrast stands out.

Oh Rose, I remember that book, it was a joy to read.

When it snows, I think that says the same for everyones garden Dizzi

STEVE
HAVEYOU SEEN THE TREE PHOTO
WE TOOK THE OTHER WEEK I CALLED IT THE MIDNIGHT TREE
A LAMP POST RIGHT UP THE CENTER
IT MADE GLORIOUS LIGHT AND REFLECTION

I remember the 70s or 80s series of the secret garden. Especially for the title music played on the oboe......can't recall the title, but I can hear it now.

:o)

I have a photo somewhere of when it snowed very heavily in Kent about 1985 ish? of me standing in a swimsuit lol ...it was one of those silly dares :)

Hi Stevie, it is fascinating when you get contrast like that , i took a photo of the beach at sunset once in Wales and it came out black and silver.

I might actually pop downand take a photo now , just give it a try :)

Helen I think I still have a copy of it packed away in a box ...I hope so, i gave away so many books before I moved here...might have to have a rummage in the morning!

NOT FAIR
MY CAMERA WAS STOLEN

CANT TAKE ANY

Hi Dizzi,
Yes I did, its a lovely photo.

I do like during the winter months. When you see a tree with a street light behind it. How the branches appear to curl around the lamp.

:o)

SINCE THIS TOWNIE GIRL HAS BEEN GOING COUNTRY SIDE
AT WEEKENDS I OPENED MY EYES
I SEE WITH DIFFERENT EYES
IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND

just taken half a dozen, don't think they will come out at back but the front garden might as there is a street lamp right outside. Snow is still falling, light but steady :)

Night all sleep well
