We were in Vancouver for the holidays and witness to their version of winter. Back home today it snowed, but this is Vancouver in their winter. A beautiful green field of grass and a lone park bench. Only the trees show any sign of the season baren of their foliage. Why did I leave Vancouver for Calgary?
Derwentwater lies icy cold and still beneath the snow clad fells of the Western Lake District.
I had been up on this ridge the previous winter, but this year it was like an alpine walk with deep crisp snow crunching underneath my spikes. I thought it would make a great vantage point and lunch spot for John Bleakley, who had not had the pleasure of the views along Walla Crag before.
So we ploughed along the snowy ridge line, surprised to see we had quite a few fellow walkers on the summit of Lady's Rake, where I took this pano, before moving on to have a spot of lunch all alone on top of Falcon Crag.

Winter returned today and dropped about 2" of snow. I think it made everything look so pretty"

▶ "Winter is when Mahonia bealei (also called leatherleaf mahonia or Beale's barberry) catches your eye. Notice the new year's growth as cold weather settles in, when bright-yellowish green buds swell from the tips of the stems. Each growth point erupts into a cluster of one to two dozen spires of yellow flowers, tiny bright bells above the dark green foliage. If you're lucky and have a warm spell in midwinter, be sure to step closer and enjoy your first [lemony] scent of spring. Later in spring, each flower produces a small oval, purple fruit, reminiscent of grape clusters. Naturalized, not native, in North America, Mahonia bealei populates many of the southeastern U.S. states" [and is considered invasive in several].
▶ This is a closeup. The blossoms appear much larger in the image than they did in 'real' life.

Camellia Japonica here on the farm. The whites seldom bloom until Mid January here but the weather has been very warm, near 70 today which of course triggered some very strong storms and several inches of rain. Now there's word of perhaps a smattering of snow by the weekend. Thanks for the look and have a great evening.
They have whithstood the winter, they have endured wind and snow, they are still alive... And the spring is coming soon.

In the Winter,
the trees stand bare,
linking earth and sky.

Taken at Snow Falls
Winter grips Minneapolis coating the landscape with snow. The daily CN transfer trots over the Soo Line bridge on its way to the Northtown transfer yard. I love the snow, love the bridge, and and pleased to grab this shot with the only CN presence in the area.
Thinking back to where I was ablout a year ago ... on my way to Jackson and the Tetons.
I don't generally shoot too many landscapes, but I find it hard to resist when the waters are so still and the skies are so clear and the reflections of the amazing landscape and environment are simply begging to be photographed. I'm sure that many of you can relate to giving in and capturing an image or two. Especially helpful during this period of rain, rain, rain.
I've learned to totally appreciate the moisture in Colorado ... I just wonder and wish ... why can't it be snow!!! LOL
Hope that everyone had a fabulous weekend.

Winter mist and sunlight draws me back again and again to these magical sights these conditions produce.
- heute schneit es hier in Tirol nass und ungemütlich, aber da sind ja noch die Islandbilder;-)
- today it's snowing in Tyrol and getting more and more cold and wet outside, fortunately there are still my Iceland impressions;-)
The snow fall has changed the atmosphere creating a winter wonderland. Looking down the Military Canal , flanked by snow, was such a calming and peaceful experience. Nature always surprises.
Winter is the coldest season of the year in polar and temperate climates, between autumn and spring. Winter is caused by the axis of the Earth in that hemisphere being oriented away from the Sun.
Winter Beauty
One from the Galloway Forest yesterday on a beautiful snowy day near Laurieston. A day with perfect conditions, that had everything and the benefit of being able to explore the forest with no one else around.
