I guess this was maybe the last lasting snow this year – a beautiful day for us and the dogs. Start in soft sun and finish in the cold of the evening. Put on your warmest clothes and come along!

Oh such beauty .. winter magic! Thanks for sharing
♥ Thanks for commenting!
Wonderful images of your winter scenery, Ann-Christine! Guess which is my favorite. 🙂 Woof!
Haha – as always!
Gorgeous winter images, Ann-Christine. I miss experiencing the beauty of snow.
Thank you, Jane. I read about Texas every day now.
Tragic mismanagement.
Tragic in many ways.
Above average February temperatures for us ……. sadly it also brings the rain. High winds forecast.
Rain here today and 4 plus degrees. I think winter will return for short visits though. March is notoriously cold
True… and what hits the USA in the winter months tends to reach us between 7/10 days later. So I expect March to be cold and maybe some real winter weather 🤔
My old history teacher always said ”when the US sneezes, Europe catches a cold”
😃👌
The sheer beauty of winter. The frost on the trees is magical!
It is, Anne. Now it seems our snow is leaving for this time. So grateful for what we got!
I could sent you plenty of snow from here. We have more falling as I type this!
;-D
How beautiful 🙂
Gorgeous, beautiful, exquisite…superlative, superlative, superlative! 🙂
Haha – well, I thank you so very much, Mary Jo! I was eager to post on what I think is the last pieces of winter and snow here…but you never know…
There are times when I want to brave the snow to take advantage of the beautiful scenery. Over the years, I haven’t taken that time often enough. Your set of images makes me want to accompany you on a photo walk in your woods on a winter’s day.
Maybe someday!
Such beauty you have captured. The one with the dog 🙂 ❤
Thank you, Ritva! Totti and my ”tiny# husband is in the last image but one too – in the forest. Or was it that one you were referring to?
My thoughts exactly! We had our proper snow last week and I think that was it…from minus 16 now we are warm and floating with 10 degrees! Crazy, right.
Your photos is so crisp and beautiful and I am glad to see this beauty from your side.Those shots gave respect to this Pandemic Winter after all.
Thank you – and you have 10 degrees! The weather forecast says the same for us next week.
A beautiful set of images Ann-Christine, winter at its very best. So glad you have heat again! Here in the US our friends in Texas are suffering terribly, many with no power or water in freezing temps. Here in the south we have torrential rain and thunderstorms but are not complaining as we are so much better off than so many. Climate change comes in many flavors I’m afraid. Wishing you many more beautiful, sunny days!
Thank you, Tina – hope storms and rain will be sufferable and tolerable. I hear on the news about Texas – hope they will soon have heat and electricity back again. During our biggest storm, Gudrun, we were left in the dark and cold for a week, some people for a month. We will never forget that. ..No hot water available grew rather difficult after a week. May the sun shine on you too!
Yikes, can you IMAGINE a month without electricity?! I cannot.
😊
Amazing atmospheric pictures! It seems the beautiful place to walk around.
Thank you, Alexander, all seasons beautiful hike!
I agree. There is no bad weather, there is wrong clothing. 🙂
🙂
Beautiful landscape shots. Seems quite similar to the places I go to, here in Belgium.
Yes, you live in a beautiful country!
Fabulously ethereal -really magical.
♥
Ooooh, lovely!
♥ Had your shot today?
Yep
So beautiful, we miss the snow already… here the snow is gone 😦
It will be gone here tomorrow…glad you enjoyed it.
What beautiful scenery, Ann-Christine!
Thank you, a bit different from your beautiful sceneries!
Very different but oh so beautiful (and I suppose chilling!)
♥
Really beautiful ❄️
Thank you –
So loved the walk – think I’ll go back again later ! We have no such forests here . . . the country is basically covered with gumtrees or eucalypti growing every which way in up hill and down dale with untidy scrub in-between . . . no masses of straight trunks . . . so this feels so different . . .
Ah. I love eucalypti scent, but also our own fir scent. Did you see Totti and my tiny husband there as well? In the last picture but one.
Did notice your husband, *smile* – had to go back to say hello to Totti !
😊
I love when the snow grabs the tree limbs … like the upper left. 🙂 Stay warm!
I am trying to. Looking to the weather forecast, it will get a lot warmer next week.
You sound you are ready for warmer weather. By the way, my collaboration today has a visual twist. Hmmmm….
♥
As much as enjoyed virtually coming along, I would have loved to actually hiked with you. 🙂 Thanks for the lovely photos.

♥…but you did…
It’s beautiful!!!!
All seasons!
Back in the warm, clutching a hot chocolate, Ann Christine, but I enjoyed it 🙂 🙂 Happy Thursday!
You too, Jo!
