It’s been a mild winter
With skies of silver and grey.
The outlook from where I’m standing though
Is all good.

Looking at this scene, Fiona, I presume it’s the lake, where would the jetty be?
LikeLike
Ruby is at the lake where the jetty is. The first picture is the little headland that is to the right of the jetty – around the corner.
LikeLike
So the jetty is completely covered – is that right?
LikeLike
Yes, nearly all covered in snow!

I just find that so fascinating. Quite incredible. Thank you.

Winter scene is absolutely taken beautifully. Oscar is such a good fellow to stay put and not scratch, chase a squirrel or turn around just as you click the shutter. He deserves an Oscar for being so well trained. Both photographs are absolutely top notch.
