Default oops...I'm in trouble!

I was supposed to be 'nipping' to our local Farm Shop this morning...should have been a 20 minute job. Well, I happened to have my camera with me and it's so beautiful up there, I just couldn't resist! I returned with the shopping 2hrs later...

HAHAHAHA! You make me laugh because yesterday I went out to do errands, stopped to take pictures, came home 2 hours later - and had never even made it to the store! Glad I'm not the only one. But I can see why you got distracted. Those are great shots - very cold and wintry.

Isn't it funny how you can quickly forget about the cold when you are capturing such beautiful moments in time? These shots are amazing and I can feel the cold air in my nose right now...

I'm too easily distracted for my own good! Thanks for the feedback Martha.

It was very cold as it happens, and also having to dodge cars on the road, as there was no pavement. Worth every minute though!

What a great set of pics that really capture the essence of winter to me! Ymark said he could feel the cold in his nose... I am remembering that crips clean smell after it snows. I think they are all my favorite!

Ah mate, these are super images, especially love the last two. I am off out tomorrow to try and capture something like these and if I do I will be a very happy man indeed. Thanks for sharing them with us.
David.
