Snow on the horizon by judithg

Snow on the horizon

I stayed snuggled up in bed just long enough to be sure that Nigel had got up to 'do the hens' this morning and then took my cup of tea downstairs for breakfast! Naughty maybe but I've been feeding and watering them before dawn all week in sub zero temps. And I could have wasted a spectacular morning but for a text from our friends in Cambourne inviting us to walk over to the coffee shop in the neighbouring village. It was so lovely to see the sun and blue sky (morning only!) although we felt a bit guilty as Monty, who had waited outside, did a comedy walk on the way back until his bottom had warmed up.
Three good things:
1. Making the most of a beautiful morning.
2, The thaw is well underway.
3. Abantu coffee shop in Bourn
Wonderful b&w, love the contrasts and shadows.

Love the B&W and long shadows. You have captured lovely movement in the figures here and got them just at the top of the hill. Beautiful.

Imagine "walking over to the next village!" It would take hours here! Nice bright light here!

What a beautiful pov ...sweeping views everywhere. It does look cold, but still a great place to walk. The silhouettes of the couple really are the icing on the cake.

Lovely photo! Isn't it lovely to have a wee bit extra time in bed when you've been up early all week! Me too!

Once in awhile a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do. Glad you got a morning off from the hens. A great b&w, Judith. Love those long shadows.

Somehow every year I am surprised when your winter ends earlier than ours. The landscape and light here are so awesome
