Wintery Scenes in the Garden

Gizmo peeping out into the winter wonderland.

Icicles.

Lots more icicles.

A view towards the back of the garden. There is a lawn somewhere under all that snow.

The bird feeders won't be doing a good job under those snowy caps. I'd better sort that out.

View from the back garden towards the front of the house.

Snowy covered shrubs around the borders.

Where has my garden furniture gone?!!!

The chairs do look rather pretty with their cushions of snow.

Gizmo taking a a leap into the soft fluffy stuff.

  4. Looks fab! We had a lot of snow too and I managed to smack my car into a wall skidding on the snow :( Luckily no-one was hurt and the car isn't too badly damaged :)
    My little cats have been watching the snow although they are too little to go outside yet. Missy is fascinated by it!

  7. Those icicles are very cool, great piccy. Your cat's brave, the cat we had when I was growing up absolutely detested snow with a vengeance!

  10. You've got more than me...but it's a miracle I have any at all! Lovely pics, and I especially like Gizmo, and the contrast of his gingeriness against the white.

  14. What an adventurous kitty you have! Ours were having none of it and worryingly, I don't think they've been out for hours and hours! Your garden furniture looks very much like ours with its snow cushions and tablecloth!

  15. Lovely lovely pictures - icicles always make me excited - not sure why! I always wanted to see them as a little girl - I saw them as a real sign of winter. Emma x

  16. Wonderful photos - good for Gizmo, our cats won't go out in it for more than a few seconds. Have just cleared and topped up the bird feeders and table - lovely icicles - haven't seen any of those for ages:)

  17. Gizmo is so brave! What an adventurer!

    Thanks for your kind comment on my blog - I feel so sad for you on losing your little chicken. It's quite heartbreaking. I've lost a couple over the years - the last was my Poppy, who was so feisty and full of character - I still miss her.

    I can understand how much you miss chickens being around - the garden just seems to come to life with them in it, doesn't it?! Do you think you will get any more?

  19. lovely pictures, Gizmo is very brave our cats are indoors curled up by the fire, he would match our dog Jenny very well as their coats look a very similar colour.

  23. Thanks Simone for your lovely comment on my blog regarding my bookmark!
    I truly enjoy reading your post below... and Your new attitude Rocks!
    Keep it up!
    You can do it, FOR SURE!
    Also, I enjoyed seing the photos of your garden covered in snow!
    I found two little birdies looking for food in my back garden, yesterday.
    I think that because most of the food being frozen, they are quite desperate.
    I added some apples today for them.
    Love,
    Debbie Moss

    P.S- I have two Awards for YOU on my blog!

  24. Woderful photos, doesn't snow transform everything, really magical. Gizmo is certainly adventurous! One of my cats was out all the time in the snow, the other sat cross legged by the back door waiting for a thaw!
