Snowfall, Snowdrops and Thaw (Look Beyond – Weekly Photo Challenge)

21 Jan
First snow

First snow in the garden and in the fields beyond

1   We have snow. Our bit of Cornwall has had a beautiful light dusting of snow, just enough to make footprints in and to create that magical hush that descends with the snowflakes.

2   A walk around the garden gave us the lovely snowdrops in the snow and some delightful bird footprints.

Snow all gone by midday

    I like the birdprints and the contrast between the first picture and the last

      Yes, we were very lucky! Enough to be pretty but not all snowed up as they are further up country. 🙂

      We’ve worked very hard over the last few years to get it as it is -still work to do of course as there always is in a garden – but so very satisfying.

      Good luck with your herb garden – ours is due for renovation this year, getting a bit leggy. I’ll post pictures in time to show you.

      All the best 🙂

    It is going to snow and it might be an inconvenience. Just accept and enjoy it. 🙂

    Glad it’s you and not me. lol

    Spring snows are called Poor Man’s Fertilizer in Vermont.

    Lovely pictures, it was lucky you managed to catch the snow before it disappeared! I see a lot of the rest of the UK is still struggling x

        You bet! That is astonishingly gorgeous. Herb garden, too! My garden aspires to be yours 😉

      Ours ends at the pale green wall and the trellis. 🙂

        Believe me, my veggie/herb patch would like to be half of what yours is. Well done. I love to see when people do it right… and you have done it right!
