On Monday

After the blustry, tree bending winds and torrential rain of yesterday today was rather different.


 We had snow.








In the space of two hours it came down, gently at first then with gathering speed and intensity.  Now the sun is shining, there is blue in the sky amongst the soft grey clouds and the snow is disappearing almost as quickly as it came.

      Thank you WoW, marshmallow snow:) Love that description. Robin posed for me although I think he was rather hoping I'd put more mealworms out:)

    How pretty your garden looks in the snow! We had a very brief flurry this afternoon but it didn't settle. A lovely photo of the robin :) Have a good week Rosie.

      Thank you RR, isn't it lovely how a light dusting of snow makes everywhere look pretty for a while, doesn't look so good today, still snowy and windy here. Love the robin, I think he wanted more mealworms:)

    Oh how pretty! That's just how it should be, there and gone again without a fuss. Red stands out so well in the snow doesn't it. 😊

      Thank you Karen, in two hours the whole garden was covered about half of it has gone now but the road outside looks slushy and slippy. You can always spot a robin in the snow:)

    crikey! that is quite something but you have taken some absolutely beautiful shots. We just had gales and a load of rain and lightening (blew the shed roof off) but no snow!
    Thanks for popping by. Helen and boys xxx

      Thank you Helen, most of the snow has gone now. The shed roof blowing off sounds quite drastic, hope it can be put back easily:)

      Thank you Lorrie, both robins visit regularly, I never know which is the male and which the female, they like the suet sprinkles and the meal worms we put in the window feeder for them. Snow has disappeared as quickly as it came:)

    Mother Nature certainly dropped a load in your neck of the woods.

    Oh how lovely, you had a bit of winter, even if it hasn't lasted! We've only had very heavy hailstones pretending to be snow so far!

      Thank you, yes just a little winter all in a couple of hours, very gentle and bearable afer all the wind the day or two before:)

    I think I would prefer the softly falling snow to the horrendous gales and floods! Your garden looks delightful Rosie especially with all the visiting wildlife and excellent photos. I don't remember the last time we had snow here. I hope it hits before Easter when it sometimes puts in an appearance! I am glad the sun has come out for you at last :)

      Thank you, it's been a sunny day today, the garden always looks good in snow and the robins are very photogenic. Looking outside now it seems almost as if it never happened:)

      He visits the garden every day and wasn't going to let a little snow distract him:)
