Snowy Start to the New Year


It's snowing again! I've never seen so much snow over such a long period of time! The photo is from our walk along the Water of Leith on Monday, wonderful birdwatching as ever, though I'll post about holiday birdwatching tomorrow!

Hope everyone had an enjoyable break, whether you were celebrating Christmas or not. We had a lovely time, lots of snowy walks and I've worked on a lot of poems and a craft project. I hope to finish the craft project very soon and share it here.
Best wishes for 2010, let's hope its a good one!

  1. Nice shot… we're getting flurries of tiny little snowflakes here, but no accumulation.

    Something about your front page locks up my network interface, I wish I knew what.

  2. Farfetched - I think its you who's said that before, I wish I knew what the problem was and i could fix it.... If you ever work out what causes the problem let me know,,,,,

  3. Happy 2010 to you too, Juliet. I admire your good attitude toward what sounds like record snow levels in Edinburgh. I find hard winters difficult (growing up in Southern California was a bit formative, I'm afraid). Accepting the natural world on ITS terms instead of thinking the natural world ought to be accommodating and coddling us is one of the many things I like about your blog.

  4. The shadow of the photo artist stands out nicely against the snow. We see snow around here, and the nice look of fresh snow almost offsets the Winter cold - almost!

  9. It started snowing here this afternoon but it is too wet to lay. My friends in Northumberland are snowed in.

    You have a wonderful new year x

  10. The snow here went away but then it started snowing about 8.30am - too late to cancel the transport into town but it got me there in time to take half a dozen great photos before the gritters came and made passage easier but spoilt the photogenicity of the snow.

    farfetched's problem could be a slow loading widget.

    oo - the captha word is "nompome"!

  15. Happy New Year to you! It sounds like you've had a productive break and I look forward to seeing the craft project!

    It's snowing here too - quite deep, but our necks still stick out over the top of the drifts, so we're OK!

  16. Nifty snowy shadows in your winter wonderland. No snow and LOTS of sunshine where I live so I've shared A Mosaic of Neighborhood Shadows at Sacred Ruminations and ‘Critter Shadows’ at Small Reflections.
    Hugs and blessings,

  17. Good to see you back on here – happy new year and all. Personally I’ve had enough of the wintry weather now. I’ve managed to see plenty of redwings, but no doubt you have something more exotic in the way of birdies, which I shall look forward to seeing …

  18. Lots of blue shadows on your snow. We've been having a nice winter so far, and by that I mean not very much snow. I hope it continues!

  20. You've shared some beautiful shadows on the snow.
    We had snow showers here in Connecticut for much of the day. They were pretty and luckily didn't affect the driving.

    Happy 2010 to you ~

    Your snow photos are just beautiful. I would love to see the snow again but no doubt would find the cold difficult after living for so long in Australia. Thank you for your photos - they always brighten my day!

  30. We've only had a little snow - a couple on inches. Then the sun came out and I got some shadow-on-snow pictures, as well.

    Very cold here in Michigan. Single digits (F) tonight.

    Cheers!
