Unassembled Snowmen for sale here!

Well if the snow keeps falling we might get to make some snowmen around here!  My husband is checking the radar pictures every hour on the hour!  I think the blinds will be open tonight so he can keep a check on the snowfall during the night.  Thankfully the local council got the street light outside the house fixed so that makes it easier to see any snow fall from his side of the bed!  So I'm hoping that I will be able to keep a record of the snowfall over the next day or so on the blog. 


So here are a few collections I made of today's snow pictures.

 

Our snow fall has been quite pathetic compared to other areas.  I suppose since we live in a rain shadow that probably means we're in a snow shadow also.  Yesterday's falls amounted to about 1cm - well tonight its about 1inch but hoping that more will arrive during the night.  For nearly 9 years I've only taken a few photos of the snow in the garden and would like to get the opportunity to take more this year now that I am gaining more photography skills.

Taking videos on the camera is new to me also - so I was quite pleased with this as I took it from inside my utilty room.  I have one of those windows that turns itself inside out so you can wash the outside of the windows so I was able to get the camera outside the window  - but forgive the camera shake as I was leaning over the sink aswell.  My husband has since got me a tripod to use from now on. The fruit is from a Malus Profusion and the photo top right is a Cotoneaster Horizontalis.
