There was a short wintry spell last week. Just enough to build a trio of small snowmen.
And it was just cold enough to catch those three frost noses.

Suprising Encounter
We had a few flakes of snow on Friday and Saturday morning, a few white roofs (proof of good house insulation) and that was it. But a mere 6km to the east of us as the crow flies (if that crow adds a few altitude meters) there was proper snow. And what is whiter than freshly fallen snow?
Then I came across this road sign, in the middle of the forest.
Which didn’t really prepare me for the home of the Vedic Cultural Club.

At least, I Have Central Heating
The Ragtag prompt today, was a Scottish word, oorie. I had to look it up (and I feel reassured by the fact that some native English speakers had to, as well) and the Collins Dictionary defines it as “gloomy, dismal, or chilled with cold” – the addendum “Scottish” is almost unnecessary, don’t you think.
I immediately thought of this photo, which I took a few years ago.
The Danger of Tripping
The very first picture I took in 2022:
It looks dangerous! The drop – which I didn’t photograph because I didn’t want to lose my place in line to have my vax status checked – was less than 50 cm. Or possibly, it was meant for the children playing two metres to the right of the sign:
Contemplating the danger of falling flat on my face with every new endeavour (and the very large possibility of the actual fall being much larger in my mind than in reality) I decided to go back and rather post something symbolic for a fresh start.
Newly fallen snow. The beckoning of a new dawn.
And now I’m really tripping:
Make it a good one!

Catch It while You Can
There are a number of reasons why nostalgia combines with snow in my mind. It always looks so clean and pristine when it is first fallen and gives even old buildings a new and shiny coat.
I always want to capture it very quickly because it lasts so seldom in our area. I often think if I don’t take a picture of it today it will be gone tomorrow.
Bright Morning Light
I had a number of bright spring flowers lined up for today.
It was bright when I stepped outside. No denying.
But I hadn’t expected the brightness of snow.

A Thing of the Past
at least, hopefully, for this year.
Thought I quickly sneak in a last snow picture with this prompt. I like its fixed dimensions, behind the forest the season has already changed.

Naturally desaturated
The colour in these photos have not been changed, they are naturally desaturated.
Is it steps? Is it a ladder? There are arguments for both.
Almost no meadow without a raised hide in the Odenwald. Usually the climb up is quite steep.
That’s why dads like to keep close.
