Winter has returned

A whole day of torrential rain, sleet, snow and high winds...April is in full bloom! So this is all I got, a little snow flake taken with my Dad's macro, just before it melted and the camera (and me...) got drenched. It is bitter out there! Hope you are all wrapped up warm and cosy indoors ;-)

Thank you all for the wonderful comments and fav - truly appreciated as ever! You all rock :-)
Oh no - bad bad bad!! (not the photo which is fab!)

That's beautiful - like a diamond brooch. Wonderful shot

@judithg @shanne you should prepare yourselves, apparently it's moving South overnight...The snow hasn't stuck to the ground yet, but it is bitter out there! Oh joy ;-)

@filsie65 Thanks! Still getting used to my dad's macro lens and trying to get this before it melted on my recycling bin...
April 3rd, 2012  
it's pretty horrible here now - we've had rain, thunder and lightning around most of the day

@bmnorthernlight I echo my comment on yesterday's mud with 'only you could make the top of a wheelie bin look attractive! =)
April 3rd, 2012  
@filsie65 Lol, thank you! But it does have a rather fetching lovely royal blue colour!

@shanne Eek! Had quite a few problems at work with phone lines and electricity too...but I am glad we're not quite Scotland, they had heaps of snow...
April 3rd, 2012  
It's pretty miserable isn't it! love your shot though,....it looks like a peice of jewelery! =)
April 3rd, 2012  
diamonds! are forever... Hopefully the snow won't last...
April 3rd, 2012  
@fueast Lol, fingers crossed!!

Great capture, love it!

Fabulous shot! We are definitely having strange weather. Our weather has turned colder too, but we don't have snow in the forecast---just cold rain.
April 4th, 2012  
great macro shot! hope your weather improves:)
April 4th, 2012  
Beautiful shot!

OMG! Snow diamonds - gorgeous! Was is it with this weather! I could not see out the bedroom window last night! Just covered in snow - although the sky didn't go off so not that bad;0)

This shot looks like you discovered some diamonds in a cave :o. Very cool!! The weather? Bleh!
April 4th, 2012  
Beautiful shot - looks like little diamonds.
April 4th, 2012  
beautiful shot must have been hard to catch.
April 4th, 2012  
a bit abstract due to the dark background, I like this
April 4th, 2012  
Oh my you are getting your share of it too! The flake is pretty though :)
April 4th, 2012  
looks like precious jewelry
April 4th, 2012  
Very pretty...I love the subtle lighting, but not the digital frame so much...it does look lie diamonds!
April 4th, 2012  
definitely looks like a little jewel
April 4th, 2012  
@tabbycat I have to admit the lighting was just the time of day, getting dark fast and the blue recycling bin this was on...thanks for the feedback! really appreciate it. I kept changing my mind about the frame, looked a little lost without it but I know what you mean!
April 4th, 2012  
It's beautiful!!
April 5th, 2012  
this is sweeeeeet. love the minimal feel. looks like diamonds
April 5th, 2012  
@bmnorthernlight Yes I do. I'm alway in two minds about them myself, but I came to the conclusion that if a pic needs a frame to be presentable, then it's a bit of a crap pic! That's just my rule though, I'm sure any pro photoger would agree!
April 5th, 2012  
Looks like a piece of jewelry. Lovely
April 5th, 2012  
really cool shot - it was a filthy day huh? I was up in Leeds and had no coat and lucky to have even a jumper! brrr!
April 7th, 2012  
Wow, that is gorgeous! I've never seen a snowflake looking like that! great tones, too!
