25th December

What a gorgeous day-mum and I were up and out early and reaped the benefits of early morning sunshine and mists! The photos are in chronological order of our walk ( one of my personal favourites which we do when we have a little more time ) which took us across the fields and then down by the canals.

by the end of the walk he had a very fetching frosty beard !

spectacular icicles everywhere

ever present in the exact same spot!

I love the shadows cast by the trees and the (almost) unspoilt snow.Plenty of animal tracks and some which took a little thought to work out how they appeared to start and then stop after only a few yards.When we looked closely you could see very faintly the imprint of wings where  birds have landed and then taken off again. Too delicate unfortunately for my camera to pick up. 

 Managed to avoid the TV all day which was an added bonus...

more of the white stuff

a beautiful day to follow yesterday's blizzards.It took more than an hour to walk to the beginning of one of our more well travelled routes by which time the sun was already quite low.Hence a couple of these pictures appear to have been altered to sepia-they haven't been-promise!

the sound of silence

I'm not sure that taking my camera out in a blizzard was the cleverest thing.....however the snow has it's own magical quality when there is no one around and it is so very quiet...



it seems that today  we have at last had our fair share of the snow-I am resisting making a comment about the twits out there driving in it



it goes without saying that Milo loves the stuff

one very cold and wet mutt





probably the most photographed tree on Dartmoor-but hey..
