A few weeks ago, the sun was shining
And the diamonds danced on the snow.
A perfect day for a walk with my furry buddy, Oscar.
This boat has been adrift
On the snowy landscape all winter.
Our neighbours placed their impressive gingerbread church
Outside for us – and the birds – to enjoy.
Walking down twisty lanes
I spied a vibrant splash of colour in someone’s garden:
An old red pump.
On the way home, we crossed the railway lines
In time to see the train disappearing
In a magical golden mist.
I felt as if I were living out a dream
In this enchanted winter wonderland.
For more magical moments, please visit: Our World Tuesday.
I’m really enjoying your snowy adventures.

Magestic! I am simply bowled over with how beautiful these photos are. Alex (my husband) looked across the room at the one with Oscar and said “Oh my God! That looks like Harry! We need to take him to the snow too!”. I agree, but the photos would never be in the same universe as yours!!!

Honestly, anyone who thinks that winter scenery is dead, boring, and/or monochromatic need only visit your blog’s winter photos. You truly do live in a magical landscape, but it’s your ability to see the magic and capture it in your beautiful photos that makes it so obvious. I love the golden light in the photo of Oscar and those snowy tree branches, and the fact your neighbors are sharing their sweet gingerbread church with the critters. Is that a Harley Davidson sign I spy behind the dazzling red pump? 🙂 The train photo is surreally beautiful! What a lovely winter sojourn I just enjoyed thanks to you. As always. 🙂
