Challenge for Pictures in a Series: Motif or Concept A Photos of your garden in winter!

[Asher Kelman]

It’s winter but how have the green spaces managed! Here in Southern California, winter is taken with a shrug. Snot only at the highest elevations. Yes it cold 61-69 degrees F, but we finf our jackets and scarves and brave it!

Shere your garden pictures!

Looking forward to your contributions!

Enjoy the New Year!

It is a bit cooler here and we have had so much snow in December that some trees collapsed.

 

[Asher Kelman]

Oh my goodness me!

Jérôme, this is such a contrast! My first thought was what a shock folk would have if that was the scene here! I doubt we have the snow ploughs to handle it in our neighborhood!

But for sure it brings a lot of Joy at Christmas time with children playing outside and throwing snowballs!

I remember being in Boston. One year we had 4 ft of snow blocking our street in Brookline! Some had their cars frozen there for months!

Thanks for sharing!

This is a static, yet dynamic picture, Jérôme! It shows the quiet power of nature on its creations!

Interesting that there’s a hint of blue in the snow too.

I hope it’s not your own garden!

That’s going to be a big expense removing broken trees!

It is the place where I keep bees and I removed the fallen trees myself.

 

[Asher Kelman]

How do you keep the bees alive all winter?

 

[Jerome Marot]

I don't. They do that themselves. They just need enough stores in autumn.

Wonderful!

I just saw this online:

A frost-covered tree at Muir of Ord in the Highlands, which had temperatures as low as minus 11C. Further snow is expected all across the UK early next week

Sheep against a snow laden landscape! The bees have enough honey stored but these sheep have to find grass beneath thr freezing snow!

I loved the picture so much, I have taken the Liberty to share the great work of the BBC

These are pictures of immense value to me in enjoying wonderful scenes that I couldn't otherwise easily reach!
