Recent snow

I cycled out on to the roads thinking that’s the night’s cold and snowy weather front that came through, might have a scene I could photograph.
After a few frosty milesI, I realised there were clouds on the main mountain range.
So I cycled around and found this scene! I had to remove some ghastly electricity lines in ‘clone’ Picmonkey.
Three Good Things;
1 I watched the film Christopher Robin and wanted to create one with my special input. Found my own Christopher Robin in my young son in the ‘60s in a photo album. I couldn’t photograph the picture satisfactorily. It will happen…
2. Eventually dragged my eyes back down to the carpet and the vacuum came out!
3. While reading the journal I made for my first son in the ’60’s… I had written some cute sayings. I had told him (he was about 3.-4yrs) to play outside one day and he replied…”I know what I’ll do… Ill tiptoe to the moon. Up in the sky, I’ll jump over the moon.. and you will be cross”!

Snow too but it looks amazing! Lovely memories of your days as a mum to your boy....you are feeling nostalgic....sometimes a shock like you e had makes you think & realise how precious life is. Love to you both. XX

@happypat It was great to read the journal, Pat - 50 years ago - so long ago! ps...John's coming home today - have to drive down to get him. Shall practice my driving technique!

A super view with the snow-capped mountains peeping from above the clouds . Lovely to look back and reminisce from time to time Maggie ! Pleased to hear John is coming home tomorrow - so get that vacuum out , although I am sure he couldn't care less as long as he can come home ! Take care , the both of you ! xx

You are braver than me to cycle in the snow/cold like that but you did manage to get a nice shot.

Great shot, but you're game to be out cycling in the current weather.

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic I had gloves on, Marnie!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn Thank you Katy - what's happening in our area at this time - so cold but not below freezing.

[Marnie]

@maggiemae And thermals I hope.

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic No - it was only 6degC!

[Dianne]

What a chilly day to be out on your bike, but the lovely image must've made it all worthwhile. So good to hear John is well enough to be coming home.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Maggiemae]

@beryl I actually did the vacuuming, Beryl - for me really - its nice feeling! Thanks so much for your really good input -you are the best!

[Maggiemae]

@dide It took a bit of editing, Diane - over the roofs and minus electricity lines but I'm really pleased with this scene!

[Babs]

Love the glimpses of snow capped mountains and the candy floss clouds.

[Diana]

A fabulous capture of the mountains with a mix of clouds, snow and lovely light. I guess your son has inherited your genes ;-)

[Casablanca]

Love the way clouds always pink up just before snow!

[Margaret Brown]

I love the snowclad mountains and view, fav

[Ann Williams]

Love the pink hue in the clouds. Good to hear John is coming home.

Hope you relaxed a bit - you deserve it
