Let it Snow

It is traditional for there to be snow at this time of year - traditional, but not likely. Last night however, we had a good fall of the white stuff, leaving us with a carpet of fresh snow to trudge through on our walk this morning as we set out for a stroll around Straw's Bridge. Luckily, the sun was shining too - always a good thing in the snow.

A little further along the path, a few of the willow trees had lost branches during the night with the weight of snow. Thankfully, the snow had nearly all dropped from the trees by this morning and we didn't seem to be in any danger as we passed by.

The paths were treacherous enough without the added possibility of being poleaxed by a falling branch.

Adding a little 'bloom' to the above picture brought out the wintry scene even more and the addition of a little artificial lens flare to the sun peeping through the trees, is always good.
