the temperature plummeted. Recent mornings have been scattered with frost, illuminated by blue skies or draped in mist. We have had to prise ice from the bird bath and refill with wet water, much to the delight of the starling squadrons.
Leaves and late flowers have looked magical, though the outside tap has turned into an unregulated fountain in need of repair.
My seafront walk yesterday evening suggested that weather was on its way,
but very slowly, the air was so still
This morning there were still billowing clouds hovering over the sea
but the day was quiet and rather soggy. Then temperatures began to drop again, and snow arrived with some enthusiasm.
I wonder if your world is white as well?
What a lovely wintery post. Your garden is beautiful dressed in the snow, and every leaf and stem dappled with frost is a work of art.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary, the snow and frost are so beautiful to look at, but here in the UK we tend to grind to a halt when it happens, so lots of cancelled transport and stationary cars on motorways! I'm happy to snuggle indoors and enjoy the view :-)
DeleteSuch great pictures, Kat ! Love the starlings :-)
ReplyDeleteOhhhh a bit of white makes the world so beautiful !
Thank you Els, yes, winter white just simplifies everything into loveliness doesn't it
DeleteIt didn't go quite white, but certainly paler, and there was ice on the inside of the bedroom window. Slightly warmer today, thank heavens!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I've not had ice on the inside for many a year, but I do remember only too well what that felt like. Hope you are much warmer now!!
