I like no 8 with the bare tree against a blue sky

Re: Today in pictures
 

I like number 2........the tall trees make me think of Italy......are they poplar trees?
I love the colour of the sky too.

Re: Today in pictures
 

Yes, there are lots of poplar trees around this area in "managed" woods too as they are quick growing. They are just a pain in spring when their seeds are floating around -looks like it's snowing at times and it irritates my asthma!

The sky has been really blue here all day long -lovely after a grey rainy/foggy period. It's very cold though -we really feel the temps drop when it snows in the mountains.

Winter skies early this morning. The first two are looking away from the Alps, in the opposite direction, towards the Apennines which you can just see behind the industrial area. The gazebo is for the riding school when they practise in the field, Lake Garda is just beyond the mountains you can see. The 4th photo is number 2 of yesterday 24 hours on -what a difference a day makes! Then a couple with the sun behind the clouds -we are expecting snow after a first sprinkling yesterday afternoon.

Re: Today in pictures
 

It's been snowing for nearly 2 hours -coming thick and fast -these photos have been taken since it started! A friendly robin has been around all day...feels very Christmassy.:)

Re: Today in pictures

A selection of snowy pictures from my walk this morning.

I think the tracks in the snow may be a foxes.

There's a wood-pigeon in a maple tree - not quite a partridge in a pear tree but close ;)
