I love snow!



I went out this afternoon to enjoy the snow in our local park. I deliberated over which lens I should take and ended up taking the lensbaby. The woman in this shot had a great device for picking up and throwing the ball for the dog without having to touch it. I thought that was great. It's disgusting enough in good weather but I wouldn't want to handle a slobbery ball in the snow. Wonderful invention!




I wondered where all the birds were when I went to the park and found them in this little hole in one of the ponds - the other was totally frozen over. I felt for them. They must have been really hungry.

In my travels I saw some sledgers.




There are couple of other pictures on Flickr if you want to follow my travels.

My pal F came up tonight and we exchanged presents. It was lovely to see him. He's a traditionalist when it comes to when presents get opened but I'm not. This means I can't open it till he's gone. It was a good pressie - as it always is! I've done my arithmetic and think we've know each other around 28 years. Gosh doesn't time fly!

  3. The doggie ball tosser device you mention is all the rage here amongst dog owners. It is a great idea.

  7. Those dog ball gadgets are good, although we haven't got one. We have a very elongated tennis ball type thing on a short rope, which floats as well, although we've had a few adventures with it ending up in trees! Happy holiday to you!
