Guess who had me out of bed at 7.30am … on a Sunday?
Yup … Coco pup.
We walked out the back to … snow falling.
Everything is white and I love the crunch crunch when you walk.
The street is so quiet and still and I just stood in the middle and enjoyed the snow falling gently.
I took a photo of Derek & Lynda’s ex cottage.
Back in and the fire is going … Coco and I are relaxing on the couch in our lovely clean cottage.
The big white blob in the top/middle of the photo is the nearly Full Moon … not snow.
I had an email from one of my dearest friend in Australia … Lisa.
She’s going to be in London at the end of February and want to treat me to a visit.
I’d walk all the way to spend time with her.
I was deeply sad to hear about the nearly 70 people who have died in the fires in Victoria (Oz).
Devastating.
Two of my brothers … Sean and Eamonn … have been firefighters for years and it’s just awful for the people who deal with the fires … as well as all the people who lose their homes … and their loved ones.
And the saddest thing is that many of these fires are started on purpose.
Our capacity for stupidity and harm never ceases to sadden me.
And … there will also be stories of people helping strangers … putting themselves at risk.
These are the qualities that make me happy to be human.
Have a peaceful Sunday.
mine is the pink cottage and Mags is in the red one

p.s. a half hour later and the sun is up … here are some day snow photos.
I let Coco run around a bit and she loves the snow … something new to sniff and play in.
Here she is in the background … obviously just spotted a bird … she goes into a pointing position and stands very very still.
Street still and quiet.
A Snowy Sunny Funny Garden
Can’t resist photographing the bare bones of trees … natures sculpture.
Mags shudders every time she sees these bare bones photos … she wants the lushness of leaf filled trees … soon Mags … soon.
And now Coco and I will relax by the fire … maybe go and build a snow person later … it’s really really cold outside.
Stunningly beautiful photo’s – to bring a smile of such an amazing winter scene.
Must admit the fire – looks so cozy too.
Thanks for you kind words and I’m glad you enjoy the photos.
I tend to take my little camera everywhere and it helps make me ’see’ what is around me more clearly … to be mindful.
The fire is very cosy and I can see myself dozing off later this afternoon … if Coco doesn’t drag me out for a walk first.

I can almost feel the heat radiating off your fire and warming my face. The snow is gorgeous isn’t it, though it makes the poor birds very hungry, as fast as I put it out, they eat it. The full moon was gorgeous last night, we couldn’t believe how bright it was, bright enough to go for a walk along the lane at 1.00 a.m. Couldn’t help it, it was so quiet and pretty.
Gorgeous photos, beautifully taken too.

Thanks Kerry
The fire is much needed as you know … it’s bleedin’ freezing.
The full moon is wonderful and tonight is a great night for good wishing.
Take care
