POW -- Photo of Winter -- a gallery of photographs

Wow it does look pretty but not good for those who have to live with it and aren’t able to get on with their day to day needs.

I’m really enjoying looking at these everyday photos. Many years ago (here in the UK for those elsewhere) there was a fundraising book put together of images taken by the public but all on the same day. This was before digital photography was a thing. It was aimed at fundraising for various cancer charities and was called - “One Day For Life”.

I have a copy and look at it from time to time, it’s a great record of everyday life at the time, I’d recommend having a look if you’re interested in social history or photography.

I’m a little late in joining this but as @Bobbi tagged me, here are a couple of pics from my garden this weekend when I was sat in the sun. I actually managed to get my bare feet on the grass for a short while - it was lovely!

This is my snow drops and crocuses coming up

And here’s my daffies coming up, with a background of other things that have died off for the winter.

I’ve been enjoying looking at all your photos too :slight_smile:

Photographic challenge.

Unfortunately there are no prizes for taking part in this distraction, diversion.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the activity.
I hope you enjoyed the experience.
It is great to share isn’t it?
Not everyone submitted an image this time but I’m sure some will have enjoyed just taking a look at our efforts.

Shortly I will open a new thread and propose another challenge hoping it will also get a good response.

Again, thank you for being an important part of my life.
:heart:

It is great to share, @Bobbi, and I enjoy having an excuse to share a photo or two. Thank you for setting the challenge, and I’m looking forward to the next one.

Thanks Bobbi for having this great idea and thank you to everyone who posted a pic or a comment. I loved looking at the photos and I loved seeing the snow. The wonderful thing about our weather and the Seasons is that they are always changing and the signs of change are out there waiting to be spotted. So thanks to everyone and Goodbye to Winter, Hello Spring :rainbow::tulip::tulip::tulip::tulip::sunflower::sunflower::sun_with_face::sun_with_face::sun_with_face::sun_with_face::sun_with_face::glowing_star::sun:

We’re in rural Scotland and this year has been exceptional. It was so pretty to look at but it meant the carers couldn’t get though.

Stay warm and safe. I’m sure winter isn’t finished with us yet!:+1:

I know the thread has finished now, but I thought I’d just send these 2 photos in. This is an afternoon walk across the frozen lakes of Toronto today for my son and his family. It seems a usual thing in Canada to skate or walk on the lakes. The other photos of snow is actually covering 2 cars. One is my sons and the other is his neighbours buried waiting for them to dig the cars

out !! And they all carry on with work and school !

Thank to @Sue22 for sharing your pictures.

Once every thirty years or so we get to experience such extremes. Usually the climate here in the UK is mild so when something extraordinary occurs we are caught off guard. We have little or no preparation or planning.

Winters are wet and cool occasionally frosty, and summers are warm and often wet, with a heat wave we are never ready for once in a while.
We love to holiday abroad to experience the hot and the cold but are quite used to our unremarkable days here at home.

The picture sharing is never over but I will soon post another thread with a variation that I hope will stimulate interest for those taking part either by submitting images or by taking a look at the different offerings.

Thank you. :check_mark:

keep on keepin on
