We didn’t quite manage a white Christmas in 2012, but
we were treated to a settling blizzard in early January 2013, rendering all the images virtual monochromes. The entwined hearts were created by car tracks; the blizzard-bound field horses showing the faint traces of the red rug worn by the larger one; and tinges of stone forming the gravestones in All Saints Church, Minstead. Enlargements and identifications may be found by clicking on any gallery picture.
After drafting this, I read more of ‘Gentian Hill’.
This evening we dined on Jackie’s flavoursome lamb’s liver casserole; boiled new potatoes; moist spinach; firm carrots; and tender runner beans, followed by Tesco’s finest lemon drizzle cake, with which I finished the Shiraz.
My poor horses need to go home and get warm!
Thank you very much, GP
Quite a storm! I especially like the snow dusted graveyard, and the car tracks that look like hearts.
Thank you very much, Merril
Nice! Wishing you white Christmas this year as well!
Thank you very much, Ilze
I hope they come 🙂
Beautiful, especially if one has the option to observe it from a nice window in a warm room.
My sentiments exactly!
Thank you both very much
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Thanks very much, Pat
Beautiful snowy photos, Derrick! The lemon cake sounds sooo delicious!! It’s tough being a type 2 diabetic… 🥲
The tyre tracks were a good spot, as they say.
Thanks very much, Tootlepedal
I absolutely love capturing snow pictures. These ones are lovely, Derrick.
Thank you very much, Sue
Your monochrome “snowscapes” photos are ‘out of this world’ (for me), Derrick …
Thank you very much, Ivor
Those hearts! A lovely and happy accident.
Thank you so much, Crystal
You’ve shown how beautiful snowy monochromes can be. The colors are sublte, but warm. And those car track hearts are wonderful!
Thank you so much, JoAnna
A beautiful winter scene.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
Snowy scenes such as these are alien to me – they look very beautiful though 🙂

Those are beautiful snowy photos from 2013, Derrick. I don’t think you normally get much snow where you are?
We don’t. Just one morning so far this year, Lavinia. Thank you very much
Total whiteout!
Thanks very much, Sheree
