ReplyDeleteBusy day for the birds it seems:-) Thanks Marie. Diane
DeleteYou call that snow? Snow you say! ‘‘‘Tis a more dusting of icing sugar!
ReplyDeleteIt did not last as long as icing as it then started to rain. To us it is snow, but then we are not daft enough to live in the freezing North!! Diane
DeleteBeautiful to look at that white stuff but really there are buds on your trees.
ReplyDeleteThe plants are totally confused b the weather but then so are we LOL. Keep warm Diane
DeleteYou guys have a lovely garden even with the snow! Always enjoy seeing your part of the world we live in. :)

Thanks Sally, we love our garden though lots of work in the summer months :-) Never the less we prefer the summer months and the work to winter. Hope all is well, take care Diane x
DeleteI also enjoy sitting in my front yard watching the birds. I believe I will wait until it is a little warmer though.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with that, I hate the cold!! Keep warm Diane
DeleteI love snow, Diane!!!!!! Beautiful photos, as always! Happy Valentine's Day, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI hate snow and the cold full stop. We lived in Africa for too long!! Thanks Mia Keep well Diane
DeleteYou do get the sweetest visitors Diane! Do you shoot through a window or step outside? Looks way too cold for that 😱 your garden looks tres jolie with a dusting of snow!
ReplyDeleteP.s. I have a bird on my post tomorrow that I've been looking for for ages, so excited ☺
I take photos inside and out but most of these shots were taken through the window I have to admit. Looking forward to your bird post :-) Take care and get better soon. Diane
DeleteYour place is so cold and my place is so hot at 34 deg C! The birds look happy to be out in the open.
ReplyDeleteOh nor 34C is never too hot I will change with you anytime :-) Keep cool Diane
