Thanks to David (DEW), I think I've solved the hosting photos problem....   No more Photobucket copyright marks!


Today's walk in the woods above the house.


Beachen Woods, Grantown


Looking south


Looking West


The tree


Good day for dog walks


A slippery bridge


Hopefully there'll be more snow overnight and better pictures tomorrow.


 


Oops!  They're a bit squashed.

Nice Pics !


Down here in the tropical South the last snow of any sort we saw here was 2018 - here's hoping


There is a 500pixel width limit on external pics on the TWO site which is why we have this squashed up effect

Glad to have been of service, especially since this could well be the only snow I'll see this year!

Lovely pictures and thanks for the right click tip.


Although we can still manage an occasional frost here in Dorset, snow is as rare (well almost) as hens teeth. 


When the local rag gets excited like this you know somethings changed.

And enough wet snow (above freezing and sleet for most of the day) to make a snowman!

Stunning, love these. Hopefully more to come this winter. Some of these pictures look Nordic or Canadian in terms of landscape, light and fauna, brilliant 😎👍
