November 27, 2016: I was enjoying the unexpected birthday snow and view from North Sugarloaf. I set up the shot, and Chris took it for me.
Disfrutando de la primera nevada del año por el hayedo encantado de Urbasa. Espero que os guste y muchas gracias por vuestros comentarios. Un saludo!
Seems like an April Fools joke almost... Last Saturday it snowed and snowed and then snowed some more. This was just the beginning of it, captured from the car as we were driving to visit out 6 1/2 week old grandson. The snow melted as it hit the highway on the way there..but coming home was pretty bad. Worth it though, to see the little darling!
Union Pacific rotary snowplow No. 900082 is eastbound approaching a snowbound Sharon Springs, Kansas, on New Year’s day nine years ago. Trains have been stranded there for several days, and this plow operated east from Denver to open up the Kansas Pacific line to Salina. High winds and 32 inches of snow buried the town during the December 29-30 storm. Providing motive power for the rotary train is a pair of GEs, with three support cars trailing the power, along with a backwards-facing EMD SD70M, to be used to pull the outfit westward out of a stuck position, if needed.
Lope de Vega
Al hombro el cielo, aunque su sol sin lumbre
de Lope de Vega
Al hombro el cielo, aunque su sol sin lumbre,
y en eclipse mortal las más hermosas
estrellas, nieve ya las puras rosas,
y el cielo tierra, en desigual costumbre.
Tierra, forzosamente pesadumbre,
y así, no Atlante, a las heladas losas
que esperan ya sus prendas lastimosas,
Sísifo sois, por otra incierta cumbre.
Suplícoos me digáis, si Amor se atreve
¿cuándo pesó con más pesar, Fernando,
o siendo fuego, o convertida en nieve?
Mas el fuego no pesa, que exhalando
la materia a su centro, es carga leve;
la nieve es agua, y pesará llorando.
Snow
Lope de Vega
On the shoulder the sky, although its sun without light
by Lope de Vega
On the shoulder the sky, although its sun without light,
and in mortal eclipse the most beautiful
stars, snow and pure roses,
and heaven earth, in unequal custom.
Earth, necessarily grief,
and so, not Atlantean, to the frozen slabs
already waiting for their pitiful garments,
Sisyphus you are, for another uncertain summit.
Please tell me, if Love dares
When did you weigh more heavily, Fernando,
or being fire, or turned into snow?
But the fire does not weigh, than exhaling
matter at its center is light load;
snow is water, and will weigh crying.
Snow Patrol are a rock band from Northern Ireland, formed in Dundee, Scotland in 1994. Initially an indie rock band, the band rose to prominence in the early-mid 2000s as part of the post-Britpop movement. After their major-label debut album, Final Straw in 2003, the band rose to national fame. The album was certified 5× platinum in the UK and eventually sold over 3 million copies worldwide. Their next studio album, Eyes Open (2006), and its hit single, "Chasing Cars", propelled the band to greater international fame. The album topped the UK Albums Chart and was the best-selling British album of the year, selling over 6 million copies worldwide.
"I'm running out of ways to make you see
I want you to stay here beside me
I won't be ok and I won't pretend I am
So just tell me today and take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Please take my hand
Just say yes, just say there's nothing holding you back
It's not a test, nor a trick of the mind
Only love..."
Snow Bunting - Plectrophenax Nivalis
Snow buntings are large buntings, with striking 'snowy' plumages. Males in summer have all white heads and underparts contrasting with a black mantle and wing tips. Females are a more mottled above. In autumn and winter birds develop a sandy/buff wash to their plumage and males have more mottled upperparts.
Globally, they breed around the arctic from Scandinavia to Alaska, Canada and Greenland and migrate south in winter. They are a scarce breeding species in the UK, in Scotland, making them an Amber List species. They are more widespread in winter in the north and east when residents are joined by continental birds.
They are listed under Schedule 1 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act.
The snow bunting lives in very high latitudes in the Arctic tundra. There is no apparent limit to its northern range, while the southern range is limited by the duration of daylight, which influences their reproductive activity. This species is found in the high Arctic tundra of North America, Ellesmere Island, Iceland, higher mountains of Scotland, Norway, Russia, North Greenland, Siberia, Novaya Zemlya, and Franz Josef Land. During the winter, this bird migrates to the circumglobal northern temperate zone including the south of Canada, north of the United States, north of Germany, Poland, Ukraine, and east to central Asia. During the last ice age, the snow bunting was widespread throughout continental Europe.
During the breeding period the snow bunting looks for rocky habitats in the Arctic Since the vegetation in the tundra is low growing, this bird and its nestlings are exposed to predators, and in order to ensure the survival of its offspring, the snow bunting nests in cavities in order to protect the nestlings from any threat. During this period, buntings also look for a habitat rich in vegetation such as wet sedge meadows and areas rich in dryas and lichens. In the winter, they look for open habitats such as farms and fields where they feed on seeds in the ground.
Population:
UK breeding:
60 pairs
