Snow and Sunsets

Late this afternoon provided the opportunity to head into the fields behind the house and grab some snowy sunset shots – wading through a field deep with snow in the freezing cold for a short while actually paid off too…

Snow provides such a fantastic accompaniment to exquisite sunsets – the colours were amazing. But it was the reflections and the way the sunlight bounced off of the white fields that really helped the shots.

Clouds helped too, the only bit of blue sky I’ve seen for a few days appeared just before the sun came down, providing a great relief from the bright white of the clouds and mist we’ve had to endure the last little while.

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!
