WINTER WONDERLAND

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.

  1. 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

  2. Enchanting 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

  14. 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.
