In the bleak mid winter

Today has been cold the temperature never made it above freezing. Most of the snow has gone from our side of the valley, melted by the sun yesterday. Things might be different here tomorrow as it is now snowing quite hard.This shot was on the other side of the valley heading towards Shap just after dinner.
A lovely wintry landscape!

I love to see stone walls and these certainly stand out, marking the fields, on your snowy landscape. Hope there is not too much snow to make it even harder work on the farm.

@roachling @flowerfairyann @dizzyd @cutekitty @barneyone @maggiemae Thank you all for taking the time to look at and comment on my shot. Maggiemae and Helen, they are all dry stone walls that you can see around the fields. Rita, I hope you make it to your great nieces baptism.

This is beautiful Shiirley. I love the patterns created by the stone walls, the interesting trees and the cold sky. :)

@tunia @gijsje @hermann @leestevo @inthecloud5 @memoriesbydawn @onewing Thank you all for your comments. It has been cold today, in fact it has hardly been above freezing all day. We have had quite a bit more snow tonight, hopefully it will still be nice in the morning.
