White for winter - Thematic Photography

We have had two (on separate days) big (all of half an inch) snowfalls this winter. Just deep enough for me to use a snow shovel but not scenic enough for a photograph.

I'll just have to settle for shots from the last two years.

Scout wonders what to do in the Michigan snow.

Where's that ball?

Lily thinks it's whiter on the other side of the fence

You go that way, I'll go this

But what they really want is for the snow to go away.

But the white in our garden at this time of year is a different kind of snow....

Snowdrops

These have been in flower since the middle of January - what's an half-inch of snow to them!

For other white winter wonderlands wander across to Carmi's thematic-photographic-326.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday 228

What house is not filled with 

Joy

when the tree is lit up. 

Someone must have been busy as a bee even if the inhabitants here are hibernating now.

White

So I had to look elsewhere for - 

Stripes

There are even stripes on the tree trunk to the left of the van.

Here's a - 

Tree

that I never tire of photographing from different angles. 

But it was a different tree that provided me with a - 

Shape

to admire.

This has been a post for  Ashley Sisk's scavenger-hunt-sunday-228.

Our best wishes go to Carmi and his family as they slowly recover from their recent lost. We welcome back Carmi's thematic photographic theme and the new 'White' target he has set for us.

With snow forecast for us again this weekend my first shots couldn't be more apt.

Kirklevington stream - trimmed with white.

Here's the hope of sun to thaw the snow.

Garden view

Perhaps I'd better hedge my bets a little.

Snow Cap

But further up the lane on a day when the snow had gone the old farm house looks fine.

White House (in the pink)

Still further up the lane is this favourite wall.

I think that calls for a drink while I make my way across to Thematic-photographic-236. Join us there.

My first thought on seeing Carmi's theme of 'white' was to put up  a photo of the White House. However I decided to show some holiday snaps instead.

Mawgan Porth, Cornwall

A white house, white water but what is that beast with its face resting on the cliff?

There's lots of white in the next photo, but some must have been a trick of the light,

Padstow Harbour

Also in Padstow I came across this bird obeying the white line at the harbour side.

Padstow Gull

Staying with wildlife, a butterfly caught my eye.

White Butterfly

The butterfly was photographed in the garden of this half-white house in St Mawgan where we stayed.

Bro Tref, St Mawgan

For my last picture this week I'm moving back the the North East coast of England for one of my favourite dog photos.
