After the Snow fell

 

 

There was no more snow overnight, but we’re forecast a small amount tomorrow – still there was plenty of chances to grab some photographs! We headed out to Romsey and the back through the villages which were very ice and snow covered – but beautiful.

Buddy also frolicked in the snow a bit more, baffled at the fact that snowballs disappeared into the thick snowfall and he ended up eating most of it. He also liked to chase Star around the garden which made her turn into quite the puppy!

Thatched cottages in the villages had extensive icicles hanging from their rooves – which was quite fascinating. The water dripping from the thatch had formed the fringes of icicles on every single cottage.

There was also a pile of sheep! An actual pile! The farmers had tossed some hay into a field, obviously hadn’t broken it down, and so the sheep had climbed up the hay to get the best bits of food and get away from the snow.

Late yesterday afternoon I got some shots of Buddy and my sister playing in the snow too, it was too late to share them yesterday but here they are today! Buddy once again eating snowballs and looking bemused at everything!

Day 320: November Scenes

“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”
― A.A. Milne

My job takes me all over the County and usually the areas I end up aren’t that Photogenic. But I love going to Romsey via Stockbridge. Both are beautiful quaint towns and neither require a motorway or busy road to access them. Coincidentally my route also takes me past my favourite places to Photograph – so today was quite a pleasant day!

Instead of stopping for lunch I hopped out of the car for a few minutes at a couple of locations to grab some shots. I keep meaning to go back to Romsey on a weekend and do some Christmas shopping but I never get the time – it’s a lovely town.

So I revisited The Bunnies -I had just missed the best of the Autumn shots there as I completely forgot to go back, but I think I managed a few this time around – albeit a little late. It was peaceful and nice to spend a few minutes enjoying the view. Until some swans hissed at me. As payback I’ve cloned them out of my shots.

Then I dropped by the Autumn Driveway – I keep an eye on it all year round because it’s photogenic regardless, especially in the snow. So I think I’ve got the last of the Autumn shots out of it today…
