Original Post:
It finally SNOWED last night!!! So this morning I got my lazy a** out of bed early to hunt for some pretty shots. There was very little snow and it wasn't very spectacular, but when the sun started shining over the property, I found this image! I hope you like it!!

Although it's been cold, we haven't seen any snow except up on the hills. Plenty of rain though, and that's good!

I hope everyone is holding up ok...I must admit that I've been pretty depressed lately. A new highly-contagious strain of covid, way too many stupid people ignoring rules and basic safety practices, the soaring numbers...it's just so terrible. However, I'm really happy that there are now vaccines being released! I hope they are distributed to the majority of the population soon but we aren't holding our breaths.

Stay safe, warm and dry!

Happy New Year Janet and to Steve too. So you are happy at last that it snowed!! It's too cold to snow here at the moment. It's -3C during the daytime and I don't know the temperatures at night - it's just very very cold!!!!

The photo is absolutely gorgeous. The sun flare looks great, a happy mistake I think. This is a beautiful picture which has captured the frost on the weed. Yesterday morning there was frost on the top of my apple tree and other plants and bushes. Looked very pretty but I didn't take any pictures as I didn't go out and it was too cold to open the window!!!.

I can understand why you have become depressed because you need to be able to get out and meet people or go places and at the moment you can't. I just can't understand the mindset of these people who openly flout the rules about wearing masks and meeting up with loads of other people. There was an open rave party in France over the New Year - over 2,500 people attended in a disused barn and danced from Wednesday night until this morning!!!! They said that there was too much drama about the COVID19 and that they were just enjoying themselves and they didn't believe it was as serious as others say!!!! Well how can they explain away the thousands of people dying then? That's probably exaggerated!!!!!! Idiots.

I hope you and Steve stay warm and well, and stay safe please. xx

I just read your comment, Jenny, And I agree with you 100%, not only about this lovely photo but about people not taking Covid seriously. It is!! The aftereffects if you get it, are unforeseeable, and bad , bad.
Please, take care of yourselves, think not only of yourselves but also of others!
