I had to post these photos of our winter wonderland even though at last the snow has gone. We are so lucky to live so near to the woods and to be able to go out and enjoy their beauty.
All these photos were taken on automatic settings.

My faithful friend always stands where I want to take a shot.

For once Beth decides to look at the camera, probably rather inpatient with me keep stopping to take photos.

I hope you enjoyed our walk. These woods are frequented by deer but also pheasants which are bred on the neighbouring estate (competent hosts for Borrelia infection, Lyme Disease).
I still enjoy my walks in the woods where I would probably have contracted Lyme Disease but I go well booted and not in flimsy sandals or shoes as I had been known to do.
I just uploaded an excellent video to my side bar which I would recommend everyone watch, Seven Facts about Lyme, you never know when that information may help you or someone close to you.
Even when its all gray and white... this wonderland is absolutely beautiful. Soon things will change as the snow melt and flow to the sea... ~bangchik
ReplyDeleteEnchanting wood all dressed in white... I love it when the snow blasts upon the trees ... it shows off their lovely forms! Beth is sooooo sweet! It makes me long to have a doggie. I now dress more carefully too! Socks over my pants and light colored clothing ... I don a hat too. Lovely walk Joanne... thank you! ;-) Carol
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderland, indeed!We are still waiting for our snow...
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne
ReplyDeleteI have been showing your blog to a Canadian friend, she says to let you knows she thinks your photos, both the topic and talent for catching the "mood" are incredible!
It is still raining here in Seattle!!
Very, very beautiful. Thanks for stopping by the blog and commenting. I so appreciate it.~~Dee
ReplyDeleteThanks all for your comments.
ReplyDeleteAlison thank your Canadian friend and hope you both enjoy Seattle even if it is raining. Looking forward to seeing the photos, time you started a blog of your travels.
Wow! Your photos are fabulous. The place here is so very very beautiful and there is snow everywhere!
ReplyDeleteLove all those beautiful shots- you must be a little sad to see the snow go?
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend,
Carolyn
I like your photos - and the cute dog.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, and Beth was posing so nicely for you.
ReplyDeleteGranted Beth is gorgeous. However I actually gasped and said 'wow' out loud to an empty room when I saw the 2nd photo down!! Great walk xx
ReplyDeleteYour snowy pictures are so beautiful and this desert-dweller enjoys seeing something that is quite rare here.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet Beth. These scenes are marvelous, right out of a story book, Joanne. How lucky you are to be close to such a woodland.
ReplyDeleteFrances
You've taken so many pretty snowy pictures. I still love the first "curly" trees so much covered in snow. I love how the snow really shows the form of the trees.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures Joanne. Just stopped by to wish you a Happy Birthday, hope you have a special day, RO xx
