MY BACK GARDEN IS SO WHITE AND FLUFFY

JUST LOCKED UP
STOOD WITH THE DOOR OPEN
SO QUIET
WONDER IF OUR LOCAL FOX WILL BE ON
THE PROWL
NOW HE IS NOISEY

NIGHT ALL

I HAVE STARTED TO LISTEN
I EVEN HEARD A MOUSE RUNNING THROUGH GRASS
AT MIDNIGHT,
BUT SOMETIMES
NOT HEARING ANYTHINGNISS SO LOUD LOL
IF YOU UNDERSTAND

I've alway lived on the edge of town Dizzi.
Usually like most people, I've viewed winter as a cold dank time of year.

But in the countryside, even winter can take on a majesty of its own. The silence when you hear it is something else.

Hi Rose. The optical effect, whether on film or as you see it can be something else.

There were a few cold winters in the 80's. Winter of 86 I was working on a bridleway in Mashbury. We had a lot of snow that year & very little cover, especailly fromt the wind.
When digging up tree stumps, we'd soon lose the layers of clothing & end up naked from the waist up. Anyone seeing would have thought we were mad. At a fag break we'd soon cover up again. lol

NIGHT ROSE

Night all sleep well

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 :)

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

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)

NOT FAIR
MY CAMERA WAS STOLEN

CANT TAKE ANY

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!

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 :)

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)

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

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

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

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.

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 :)

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.
