This time with snow


18 December 2009, originally uploaded by sleepyduck.

I posted a shot similar to this one a couple of months ago. There was no snow then. It didn't snow today - that's yesterday's snow. All very pretty and I would love it if not for the icy pavements. I can't cope with icy pavements: I shuffle along while the rest of the world strides past. I get extremely stressed at the feeling that I'm going to end up on my arse at any moment. I managed to stay upright today, but there were a few nasty moments...

It's the weekend! And then a two and a half day week next week :-)

  1. Snow's lovely when it's fresh and crunchy, before it becomes compacted! Enjoy your weekend.

  2. I like the composition of this. I love the snow but the ice is scary - especially with inadequate grips. Hooray for 2 and a half day week!

  3. I was a shuffler today too, picking my way round the icy patches....the afternoon booze didn't help much either. Have a great weekend, keep steady!!

  4. I seem to have adopted the shuffle mode of transport whether there is ice or not!

    Love snow, hate ice! Like you I have spent too much time on my backside, thirty years of balance based sports, climbing, squash, cross country skiing, horse riding etc. have proved a complete waste when it comes to ice!

    I still fall over. Perhaps I should forget the telephoto and ask Santa for a stick....!
