No such thing as bad weather...

...it's just a state of mind.

Schooldays have turned into snow days and the landscape has shrugged off the grey and the brown and shouldered a cleansing, muffling shroud of winter white. It's beautiful! We find beauty in different things, don't we. Some like to observe and preserve and reflect and record; (me); others (him) like to get in there and experience it from within- to feel it and throw it and roll in it and disrupt the crystal smoothness of it...

And taunt the dog with it...

 

 

...but the dog is just as bad...

Meanwhile, I observe, and record.

Sophie is kind of in between. She appreciates the beauty, but she still knows how to have fun!

 

 Ollie rises to the challenge of how to achieve the most spectacular wipeout,

 

whilst I ponder the challenge of how to get Sophie to wear a coat on the coldest day I can remember.

I fail, and  wander off to find new challenges.

 

 

Picture-perfect days; no-one's hurt, and home before sunset for tea and toast.

I love your photographs as always. There's something about the wooded area that makes me want to go deeper into and the house on the hill has a story already forming in my imagination.

It goes without saying that your children are beautiful models as well. :)
