The last time it snowed was just before Christmas. Although only a thin layer covered the ground nature looked magical and dreamlike. This blanket of white transforms the landscapes and brings calm in our hearts. Suddenly you feel as if in a contemplative reverie and life seems much more enjoyable.
Unfortunately the weather has changed lately and I feel very nostalgic when I think about snow-covered sceneries and the exhalirating snowfalls we had in November and December. All this appears not to be real now that the days are depressingly grey, boringly uniform and we are experiencing warm weather as well as continuous rain...
Here are a few clicks which I took just before Xmas. The area you see is not far from my home (10 minutes). On this very day, it was bitter cold, but the sun was shining bright. A frosty and beautiful winter day, just as I like them!

Rosa, I like snow, but we've had so much of it lately that I have been wishing it away.
Enter your wintry photos, and suddenly, I have a new appreciation for the lovely, white stuff.

There is no word to describe the beauty of your breathtaking photographs !
Nice pictures. We did not get a lot of snow yet here in Ottawa. I love snow.
Wow beautiful pictures,,,
Die alten Ruten der Weinstöcke sind so hübsch.
Nous ne sommes qu'en janvier. Elle pourrait bien revenir, tu ne crois pas?
Beautiful photos! I love the last one especially. I love winter because the snow covers up all the ugly and makes the world look fresh and clean. :)
Breathtaking, as always, Rosa!
Rosa, the photos are awesome...absolutely gorgeous!
Snow does make winter lovely! Love that shot of the mountains in the distance.
It is so amazing that you have snow when we are having such warm weather! :)
It looks beautiful there to me, Rosa, but I know what you described all too well. I'm waiting for the days to get less dreary and boring here too;-) Spring will be very welcomed...
Beautiful pictures! Snow does make everything look so pretty. We are covered in about two feet of it here, and I love every inch of it:)
What have you been cooking these days?
Always love your pictures Rosa...they are ethereal! Off to explore the forbidden mince pies now!
Beautiful photos Rosa! Send some snow here is hot :)
All the best,
Gera
We still have tons of snow on the ground. Great for photos!
What gorgeous photos! Snow has melted here too and while that is a good thing for the traffic jams it did look so much better with a white blanket...
I love gazing upon your snow scenes, the last image is beautifully composed and striking with the red vines.
Beautiful photos!
Lovely, Rosa. And that last photo with the reds against the grey, black and white is striking.
I miss snow too. Just imagine how I feel now that I'm in a place where snow is as rare as a martian invasion. I love the pictures!
Ne t'inquiete pas, ca va revenir, l'hiver n'est pas fini. Et je ne suis pas du tout pressee je dois dire, meme si c'etait tres tres beau - comme le montre tes si belles photos.
Beautiful pictures!

Thank you for giving me the chance to experience snow. I don't think we will be able to get to the mountains this year.

Beautiful pictures, Rosa!
We had snow during Christmas too and after that .. NOTHING! I was so disappointed, unlike many, I like the peace that settles with the white soft snow blanketing the ground, feels like winter!
Thankfully we had snow 2 days ago and I'm happy :)
I can see why you are craving that gorgeous snow! Hopefully some will come your way again soon to brighten up all that grey :) xo
je suis prise par la poésie de ces photos.
I love the pictures Rosa.You have made the same snow look so different in each one.awesome work.
Stunning shots Rosa.I miss not having snow down here in South Florida :(

Hello Rosa!

What gorgeous scenery you live by! Seriously breath-taking!
Amazing photos, such a beautiful moments should be cherished...
Where I live, we FINALLY got a snowstorm on Monday and have had that beautiful blanket of snow on the ground all week. It's been nice and I am enjoying it while it lasts, it might be the only one this winter!
That last photo is my favorite, beautiful shot! Well composed and the colors are lovely.

I was just up in the snow at Yosemite. Was breath-taking, as are your photos here.
Your photographs are amazing!
Rosa...There's always something unique about the moments you capture.
Love the appearance of the infinite fence and of course the breathtaking and striking red vines ;o)
