Out in the Snow, and Sunshine!

On this the second day of snow, much has melted and more schools are open, so fewer children out playing.

I set out rather late as I had built a sofa from snow just outside the house – the 'Snowfa' proved to be quite a hit with some of those passing this morning, and I saw some parents taking photos of their children sat upon it, before setting off; making all the effort worthwhile.

I headed for the Lower Luton Road and beyond, and found an igloo being built on the green at Peters Green, but less fortunate was a car which had skidded off the road just beyond the village. I thought I'd climb the bank to get more height and found the 'bank' was in fact simply piled snow some two feet deep!

The silos at Woodside and Claggy Bottom Cottage I took to add to earlier shots taken at different seasons. I met walkers which helped to give scale to landscapes, and I was fascinated by the stalactites at a flooded stretch of road. I soon ran out of sun, due to my late start.
