Scenes From a Garden

When a friend shared this video on facebook I was in awe of the beauty it captures, I've watched it at least three times now. The man who filmed this and put it together is very talented. It's a stunning nature video that blew my socks off, hope you enjoy it too! :-)

Snow sticking to the wall of the woodshed

 Each flake is unique



And finally proof that the sun does still shine and the sky is still blue! :-)







Snowflakes, tea and a groundhog



rements of summer covered with winters chill



      The winter drags on. The sun has decided to show itself with a bit more frequency but what must not be forgetten is that the absence of cloud cover leaves us highly vulnerable to the freezing temperatures. So it should come as no surprise that we have experienced temperatures of - 20 Celsius this past week. The sun is shining for all it's worth, yet the cold is determined not to allow the sun to break through to melt even the smallest piece of ice.
On such days it makes for fine photographs of the little flakes of snow and ice clinging to everything. The sun is still low in the horizon making for a great soft lighting.
This week however has been warmer and the temperatures have crept tantalizingly close to numbers above zero. :) Today we even had sounds of dripping as the snow melted with a wonderful balmy day of 1 degree.

    This California girl is seriously missing the warm companionship of the sunshine!
I still have my faithful cup of hot tea each day to warm my insides. 

   If there were groundhogs here in Estonia, I'm pretty certain they couldn't break out of the frozen ground and come up through the heaps of snow just to peak out and see if the sun is shining or not. So I think it's safe to assume spring won't be showing it's face anytime soon in this part of the world.
