Today I went out for a walk around 11 am, to post some Christmas cards that have a long way to travel. Alas, the nearest letter box to where I live gets emptied as early as 9 am nowadays. (And guess who is never up that early in the winter?) So, as the weather was not too unpleasant, I decided to walk to the main post office - where the boxes are emptied later. The camera asked to come along, and we took a shortcut path that runs along the railway...
Long train coming...
Decided to walk a different way back home, just because after a very grey and dull month of November, almost anything looks interesting again now - with touch of frost or snow added to it.
The old regiment buildings (nowadays housing businesses and apartments).
I'm going to be a Christmas tree when I grow up...
My summer "Butterfly park" - now without butterflies...
How lovely everything is. The word"frigid" comes to mind. I especially love the cheerful yellow mailboxes. Our mailboxes here are NOT pretty, nor are they well kept up.
ReplyDeleteby the time I was half way through I had picked 4 or 5 favorites. these are really beautiful. I am so glad you took your camera on your walk... they are gorgeous, I lean towards the photos with the houses in them.. I love each and every one
ReplyDeleteYou are right, almost anything looks beautiful with a bit of snowy magic sprinkled on it!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was looking at the pictures, even before reading what you had written underneath, I thought, oh, that looks like Monica's butterfly park :-)
Whatever one thinks about cold a frost mornings from the practical point of view the effects of frost on plants etc produces exquisite beauty.
