The winter weather here is still delivering wind and rain, and I do have a representative image of a sodden farm track under stormy skies, with two inches of liquid mud, the consistency of porridge, some of which came home with the dogs, but I think this much more cheerful “proper” wintery scene taken soon after Christmas is much more appropriate. It is about time we had a proper dose of the white stuff, deep and crisp and even and so on. Apologies to those of you have more white stuff than you know what to do with, but at the moment I’d welcome it instead of cold grey wet and windy weather that we are having in the centre of the English Midlands. I must be getting old. Winter weather, of whatever variety, never bothered me in my youth, but now I yearn either for cold crisp and white, or mild and damp. Cold and wet doesn’t suit me at all.
Beautiful winter scene. I must be honest I'd much rather look at pictures than experience it for myself! I'm not good when it comes to the cold.

Yes, this is a much more picture postcard shot of winter than mud. (Although mud is possibly much more common!!) There's no snow where I live so I can enjoy it vicariously through others' pictures

Beautiful image.... I think I ham with @salza on this one lovely for a short time but not good in the cold either... We are in a very mild part of NZ so never get anything like this here...

What a beautiful scene. I love the trees and they are beautiful. Winter trees are so nice because we get to see all the lovely branches. FAV

That's a beautiful scene - and yes, I'd rather see that than soggy mud, drenching wind and gray light which is all we're getting at the moment

A beautiful winter landscape.

Beautiful winter scene, great shot

I agree with your editorial Mr. Shepherdman. I like this one especially because of the long leading line of the wall that vanishes in the horizon.
