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!

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!

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

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!

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!

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