We never get to see the Northern Lights here … so I imagined some of my own, to add a little colour to a wintry day 😊

Looking through the archives for something other than the current snow, I stumbled across a folder that I don't think I've looked at since I took the still life shots!
So from May 2020, when we were in lockdown, I brought in some apple blossom from the garden. Dreams of summer to come 😊

For the Smile on Saturday challenge: "anything with A"

.. I dashed outside with a camera, to capture the first real snowfall of 2025 - before it all melted away!
A week later and the view is the just the same - but with much more snow and it is much colder 😉

Happy Fence Friday! 😊

Winter has us in its grip. The 9th of January, and the 8th day of constant freeze and frequent snow showers. We had a similar New Year event a couple of years ago, so I found some shots from then ... as the garden now is a bit too deep in snow to try any camera work ❄️😊
Very close to nature's own monochrome world, this needed little adjustment. Shot with the Lensbaby Sweet 50 and an 8+ macro ring.

Happy Monochrome Thursday 😊
and Happy Monochrome Bokeh Thursday too
