The dog needed a walk and I needed to get out of the house. I didn't have my walking boots, but thought I'd chance it. The pavements were pretty clear, but we soon found the snow. This was around 11am, but the sun stays low in the sky, making for long shadows.
This was our target. The antenna is near the top of Blackford Hill. There's a series of steps most of the way.
It was really busy up there. Lots of families put for a walk. Some had their sleds. One boy was sledding in shorts! It's worth the walk for the view. You could see for many miles today and it wasn't windy this time.
Here stands the intrepid explorers. The dog eat off chasing a ball.
I felt for the waterfowl in the pond down below. It has to be cold.
The bowling green was more of a bowling white.
In the end my shoes kept my feet dry, if not warm. I was glad to get back to a warm house and some coffee.
Fantastic scenery & great photos too. The photo of the swans is fantastic! I love the snow this time of year. We got a little too, and according to the nightly news should have considerably more in the next few days. I'll try and snap some photos and post them up here. I never really thought about it much, but I posted a couple images the other day on twitter and people were blown away by what we consider a little snow. Apparently it's a lot :)
the adventure for the day.. yes you must keep your feet warm...beautiful countryside .. I enjoyed your photos.
I've never been to Scotland before that village looks so peaceful hope you enjoyed your time there
I knew it was beautiful. Edinburgh is still on my wish list :)
What in the world! What a charming area you live in there. Is that your lawn? Nice views. So nice, I had to share in my new magazine. Happy Holidays SteevC! https://steemit.com/news/@jacobts/jts-steemit-magazine-1
I was just visiting Edinburgh. We don't have those hills at home
Thank you very much for sharing your walk! Very cool post! I really enjoyed it! Awesome photos! I know man's best Friend also enjoyed the walk! Blessed 2018! :)
Really great job. Walking is good for health. Awesome looking and excellent photography. Follow and upvoted you. Thanks, happy new year.
Ah...those are places of my dream. Never seen snowfall in my life and I love cold.
Such beautiful scenery. What a lovely post to read... I much to prefer look at photographs of the snow apposed to being out in it but one thing is for sure... if you need some shoes to keep you warm and dry... Winter Dr Martens are the way forward.
Take care. I look forward to seeing more of your posts.
Wow, beautiful pictures. I am a little upset that we didn't get snow here for the holidays. I would love to go hiking in the snow. Thanks for sharing.
Great photography...
