Veddw in the Snow

Jan 28, 2021 | 11 comments

I thought now it’s back to grey gloom you might like to see my pictures of Veddw in the snow from a few days ago. So – just pictures!

Charles Hawes, photographer, in the snow.
Sadly, these are my photos. The professional will have done better ones….

    I think the seed heads would be my choice for Xmas cards.
    Although I also like the one showing the lovely shaped hedges!!!
    It’s a difficult choice Anne. X

      It always is – and I’ve just seen one of Charles’s photos that’s a real winner….

    The cornfield garden looks positively brilliant in wintertime. Not sure it would make a nice Christmas card but the Pleioblastus viridistriatus (or yeah, sure I knew that…) or the snowcones would.

      Those would be good and so I thought – until I saw the ones Charles’s took!

    I like the seedheads too but the “meerkats” is a more unusual view of a snowy, wintery garden.

    Love all the photographs! Thank you for posting them.

    All good photos but, sorry, Charles has already taken next Christmas’ card pic. He has the advantage of much longer legs!

      He has. (but I don’t think it will be a drone pic…) Xxx
