Wintertime 2010-2011

It's been a while since we've posted - sorry about that. We were enjoying all 6in of snow that fell, which also happened to bring the country to a standstill.

Frosted Berries in the Park

Fun Frosted Leaves

Even the Spiderwebs got frosted. Turns out spiderwebs are everywhere - notice them a lot more when they are highlighted.

More fun spiderwebs

Frosted Berries after a second frozen fog night...which meant K needed to retake all the pictures from the previous trip around the park.

Clearly the frost was fun.

Then the snow came...

S on a very vacant street.

The streets stayed this way until it melted. Snow plows apparently do not exist in England. S saw one, but we never saw where it plowed. The streets were filled with fluffy white snow, then gross brown slush, which froze every night turning the city into an ice skating rink.
(Even typing this, K's computer, which is on English spelling, does not recognize the word plow!)

S's snowman - with broccoli for eyes!

The river near the park froze over. Turned the world into a black and white photo

More fun frozen reflections

Since we're old married folks now, we feed ducks. Well, we have left over bread which we feed to the ducks. Anyways, we fed the said left over bread to the ducks, who are not equipped for snow. They all just sat around us with frozen beaks.

More River...

...Reflection pictures

Fun frozen ice blades....K wishes she had a macro lens at this point in time

Some normally uninteresting plant, made more interesting by the snow

S is proud of his snowman. Rightly so, it was the last thing to melt. And our neighbors (from New Zealand) had to use structural supports (in the shape of bowls, pans, etc) to build theirs.
