Week Five; Snow, Sunsets and Some other things

“The storm starts, when the drops start dropping
When the drops stop dropping then the storm starts stopping.”
― Dr. Seuss

Whilst much of the country was blasted with snow this week, we waited and waited but nothing happened! This morning though, we woke up to the tiniest layer of snow and only then because our roads are not yet adopted and remain untreated with grit/salt!

This week saw the arrival of trees out the front which really helped to shape the landscape. They don’t show up very well against the mud in photos.

It has been a busy week, some parts of it have flown by whilst others have dragged on. I have to say that Maisy has kept me going quite a bit. I ended up being off of work on Wednesday as I started driving to a training course and my back didn’t like the traffic jams. Maisy does not understand the concept of rest…

Unless it’s on her terms of course, in a warm patch of sunshine, or whilst we’re watching TV….(She’s almost lost all of her pink puppy pads now and she’s got big doggy black feet! They grow up so fast…)

The prospect of snow has allowed for the weather to produce some amazing sunsets – and a few sunrises. I’ve been lucky enough to be able to snap a couple this week…

And finally I managed to take a few interesting shots of sky and birds over the week whilst out and about for work in the countryside. I’ve played around a little for a traditional darkroom type effect…

So, the weekly challenge is proving to end up with me taking more photos than the daily one did… but with less pressure! I quite like the idea..
