Paulette I would say that this is my favourite winter scene that I have seen posted this week, It really conveys a cold frosty winters afternoon….a must for favourite!!
Paulette x replied
Wow, thank you so very much George, what a lovely thing to say – I’m so pleased you liked it that much. I’m back on the same route tomorrow so I’m hoping it will still be thick with frost and we will have a bit more time to explore. I was dodging cars on both sides of the roads to get this shot in failing light (believe it or not) but I was happy with this one.
