Just for the record, these photos are actually colour, not black and white. It's was snowing through the night and has continued all day today, so we're back to rather wintry sceneries here. The temperature has been hovering just around freezing point, though, and the snow falling so far has been rather wet. In my immediate neighbourhood, so far it has only settled on lawns and trees, leaving the street black and wet. Or at least that was still the case when I went out for a short walk in the mid afternoon, to get a few items from a small greengrocer's shop some five minutes away. I was only out for about 15-20 minutes or so.
I would say it is drab, but it has it's own kind of beauty.
ReplyDeleteGinny, it does, but in March one is tired of it, and longing for colour... ;)
DeleteThat weather would not tempt me to go out for more than that either.
ReplyDeleteJayCee, it's still the same today.
DeleteMuted colour or faded tone have their own charms
ReplyDeleteRo, they do, but hopefully spring is waiting around the corner soon
DeleteIt does look cold and rather depressing - not a day to tempt me out. The big advantage of colour (for me) is that's the way we see the world and the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteCarol, it does not "tempt" me either but I usually try to go out for just a little bit anyway.
DeleteHaving a dog, I don't really have an excuse not to go out. Today it's very tempting to stay indoors and keep warm, we've had heavy rain and the lanes we usually walk are all flooded.
Deleteat least this black and white is not the norm for your walks, most of the time your photos are full of sunshine even when snow on the ground. Maybe that is because you don't go out on gray days only sunny... still beautiful though
ReplyDeleteSandra, the truth lies somewhere in between. A grey day does not necessarily make me stay in, but even if I go out the camera often stays in my bag/pocket on such days. So yes, from my blog you probably do get a more sunny impression than if you lived here!!
DeleteI hope it eases off for you soon.
ReplyDeleteAmy, March is always a rather capricious month here, but sooner or later, spring will no doubt be victorious!
DeleteIt's gone cold and grey again here, too, but (at least in my area) no more snow - at least not forecast over the next days. Of course one never knows, and we have sometimes had snow as late as the end of April; not the lasting kind, just enough to make one feel uncomfortable and NOT put away the padded coats too soon!
ReplyDeleteMeike, snow gone again today (at least as far as I can see from home), but definitely not time to put away any padded coats yet!
