I found my camera

For those of you in the southern hemisphere and areas where you don’t get winter with snow. A little winter wonderland

This a view from my back door looking north west


I took this through my window in the hope you would see the Thrush sheltering in the cotoneaster bush and you can see a bird. I promise you it was a nice fat speckled thrush


A view straight north showing my Christmas tree

Very exotic! :-)

But over too soon, it's melting already.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

But you wanted it to for the plumbers. Is that problem sorted now?

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Ignore that; I've got to your other comments now and I see they've come and done it and gone. :-P

That looks like fairly warm snow to me, probably no more than -5°C or so. Am I right?

Around here we're on our 75th snow-covered day and the second week of temperatures below -10°C. It dipped down to -25 a few nights ago...

Very warm compared to you and very late in the year for us. It started melting as soon as it stopped snowing so I would put it at +5 rather than -5

Whoa. Someone left the freezer door open.

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

Who ever did that has now closed it, everything has melted.

Your Christmas cactus is a lot bigger than mine. And mine seems to think its really a "Feasts of the Church" cactus, it has short bouts of flowering at add intervals instead of a lot of flowers at Christmas.

I inherited the cactus along with the house, I've got a photograph of it somewhere(black and white) of it as a single shoot. It has sat in this window for the last 30 years at least. I think it needs re potting but I'm afraid to do that in case I kill it.

It is not the oldest plant in the house, I also inherited an aspidistra which came to my grandmother from her mother, then to my mother then to me. I think it's at least 100 years old.

Oh you did get quite a bit! Ours is going now too, or at least it was until it got dark. Maybe a bit more overnight.

Your garden looks lovely.


I *can* see the bird!

Your garden looks lovely.
Only because the mess is covered with snow, I call it my wildlife sanctuary. The bird is a lot clearer on the lj than it is on photobucket. I couldn't go further afield during the snow as I was up to my ears in Dwr Cymry personnel at the time.

That's one of the things I love about snow - and it greatly amuses by hubbie - that it makes everything tidy!

(Our garden is a wildlife haven too. ie we never do any gardening.)
