A view from the Surselva, Switzerland

From my walk the other day down the street.

More snow coming on Sunday too. Happy Easter.

Snow Bunting - Plectrophenax Nivalis

Cairngorms

Explored: June 8,2016

This is what an inch and a half of snow looks like when it turns out to be almost five inches.

The only barn in our immediate area and it's owned by Cook Country.......so I guess one could say that I own a piece of this property in paying county taxes.......

As you walk along the path, the branches cover you, protecting you from the snow above, like the arms of the many protecting the one, enjoying the beauty of nature.

Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

Surprise, our dog, a Border Collie, didn't want to go out in this weather. Could you blame him?

But I was determined to make a beautiful shot that day.

I even risked my precious camera...

The result was well worth it, I love the windswept movement of the snow.

I wish you the best of days and thank you for your time. Magda (*_*)

Big wet flakes were falling this morning, but by late afternoon it was gone. Now it's all rain (again).

We are again smothered with snow but we have hope in getting into warm season soon.

Many thanks to all those who view, fav & comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.

Southeastern PA was getting hammered with snow during this paticular winter, so I had to go and check it out. Reading & Northern, Hometown, PA.

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.

What they eat:Seeds and insects (Courtesy RSPB).

Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated.

it rained, then it snowed, then...

We all want to shoot owls and other raptors in the winter. Often smaller birds like the Snow Bunting are often overlooked...

I've still to process a few more photos from Kuer Fell in Akaslompolo. I enjoyed capturing the snow textures of the fresh snow we had had the day before. Another great thing about wearing snow shoes is I didn't sink on the deep snow whilst shooting , however my tripod did LOL :)

Being the first person to drive down an unknown snow-covered road is magical and scary

Four days after the big snow, removal of the snow banks was done on our street. Although the road had been cleared as the storm occurred, we were left with big banks that reduced the road to one lane.

This was a very quick phone grab from my window of the blower filling the truck and the concomitant spray skyward.
