Snow on the hills

Woke up to a snow covered world this morning.
However, it was, as Winnie the Pooh might say, the wrong kind of snow.
It was soft and wet and soon turned to slush.
There was proper snow on the hills and a colleague who lives on higher ground was unable to get to work.
I really made the wrong call and went shopping at lunchtime instead of taking photos.
By the time I got out into the countryside in the afternoon, it had clouded over and a lot of the snow had melted.
Still, I couple a couple of cosy wooly bargains in the sales (not sheep, I hasten to add).

This is still an appealing shot, with the added bonus of not needing to dig your car out of a snow drift. I like the way the colour of the snow on the mountain tends to merge in with the colour of the sky.

Great view and a fine shot of these snowy peaks. A good day for some warm sox ! V

So pretty to see the green grass in the foreground and snow-capped mountains in back! Love this!! V

Wonderful contrast between the green foreground and the snowy mountain. A beautiful winter scene.

Pretty scenery. I think Fudge would like a couple of sheep!

an atmospheric scene...cosy woollies do come to mind looking at the chill on the hills....

Not sure if I would rather be in the snow covered mountains or the lush green meadow.

A very pretty sight with the green up close and the snow in the distance.

A lot warmer in the shots too I imagine...it does look pretty up there.

Well, it looks great, in any case! The subdued light and color are excellent, too. V.
