1. Lovely photos, I’m happy to admire them from a distance, although it’s been quite cool here too, for summer.

   1. Probably wise. It’s neither as cold nor as isolated as it looks, but you do need a pair of waterproof boots!

2. Lovely wintery images. Cold here too

   1. We’re back to warmth again, which is welcome.

      1. Here too 🙂

3. Beautiful twilight shots, Susan. I think the ice looks like a cluster of grapes!

   1. You’re right!

4. Everything looks so serene and beautiful.

   1. It can seem a thousand miles away from what’s less than a mile below.

5. Sooooo beautiful!

   1. Thanks, Dawn.

6. I love all your pictures….especially that last one!

   1. The ice bubbles are so strange. There was one that looked like a snake, but I didn’t get a decent picture.

7. Lovely scenes and very well captured. I love the snow and living in London 1978/79 was heavenly (to me). That was the year it snowed in London and actually lay quite thick in some streets.

   1. I’m glad these brought back happy memories. They’ve had some snow this year too.

8. The pastel skies are beautiful. In the photo of the cyclist, what is that on the horizon? I monument of some sort? or something more mundane?

   I’ve been thinking of you the past month on a nearly daily basis. Houston radio has been broadcasting multitudes of advertisements for the charms of Mississippi. Their tourist bureau must have decided that Texans need a new place to visit; they’ve mentioning everything from water sports to gardens. It’s quite interesting.

   1. It’s our Jubilee Tower. You can see it for miles around.

   2. I meant to ask if you know which gardens they are promoting in Mississippi. I can think of more in Texas! (Which is not to say Mississippi isn’t well worth a visit).

9. There is something to be said for a vicarious walk on a snowy moor. I get all the beauty but none of the shivers. What an extraordinary blend of soft color — the sky and snow seem to emerge from the same palette. I especially love the capture of the cyclist, with the sun on one side and the shade on the other. That must be a wonderful place to walk and think.

   1. And not having the risk of twisting an ankle, which is real. Funnily, if you have a topic planned to think of, it never works out. I just think about what I see. The cyclist was on a path, although it hardly seems so.

10. We can imitate your ice pictures, but not the snow, oddly. We had to go to London for that!

    1. It’s strange, isn’t it? We had it for at least a week.

11. Especially good landscapes

    1. The sky was gently pretty.

12. What beautiful light on the moor!

    1. It’s always lovely in the snow.
