Brr Winter

 For us winter really gets going in February and we remain that way for several more months, hard to believe when other places are considering cutting the grass !


The ice this year was something else!

It's pretty!

The ice on this house was like strange curtains

Snowy walk to work

But it can be dangerous, don't want that ice spike to land on your head!

At night it gives a special glow. Always love that

I thought that the ice through the metal balcony was like teeth

Look at the length of that icicle in the centre of the picture 

It was everywhere

Like an ice fountain

All the way along this building and on cables too

Ice pillar kept growing

The garden disappeared

There was some blue sky



Off the upstairs balcony we forgot the table and chairs... looks like we have to wait for spring to retrieve them

Snow removal guy. There was a whole team, for the drive and walkway

In the far corner of the garden I have a small metal bench, it is there just!

We are starting to feel buried in

And still more ice

These houses next to each other have white fringing

Pillar grows at the front door

and icicles on the back of the house too

But the light is changing

and there are buds!!!! Does that mean we will get spring?

January

 



Somehow we have fallen into the new year. I also seem to have a friend on the door step. Each year the ice here does something different! It is the drip from above from the melting snow on the roof that has made this

The fading light on the river was sublime

Railway tracks are always so interesting and especially being this straight!

Pops of colour

icy streets and statutes

Rather elaborate lamps!

This is a reflection and I am under a street with this see through ceiling

The many ways that ice forms are always so fascinating

So that would be flamingos in the snow

Marshmallow house

Talk about flaming sunset

Snowy walk to work

Day break and weather is coming

This is a frozen waterway

Quite amazing that the moon is up !

Frozen water and evening glow

More icicles and these were just the first ones of the year

One of my all time favorites, the leaves that remain

and these leaves make the most beautiful sound in a light breeze

More snowy walks to work

Heavy skies and light

My lit up christmas tree in the back yard, it is just a glow thing now

and the front yard steps looking magical

I love the street light capturing the falling snow, as it silently glides down

These star of Bethlehem just kept on blooming. So lovely

Happy New Year
