I didn't really make the most of the brief snow we had over the weekend - this was one I took last March out in the forest.
When I posted it then I made it really high key, this is another version with more colour put back in.
I do like snow pictures to be accompanied with a bit of colour in the sky.

We were very lucky with the weather for our weekend in the New Forest for my birthday - hubby, son, and both beagles can be seen having a lovely time walking near Burley. It was glorious!

The church was open and expecting a congregation of about 300 people later this morning to mark the anniversary of the sinking of HMS Hood by the Bismarck in the North Atlantic in 1941. There were only 3 survivors. This beautiful window was installed to mark the Millennium. A fine church dating back to 1087.

I was lucky to get this shot late in the evening as we were on our way home and the sun was fading fast. Yesterday I bought a cheap bike as our car trips into the Forest are not allowed for a while.
