I took this photo last Friday. The sun was shining, bees were humming among the blossoms, and it felt as though Spring was finally on her way. What a difference a day makes. This was Saturday morning. Overnight an arctic blast had come through, the temperature dropping to a face-freezing minus one, snow falling. ItContinue reading “What a Difference A Day Makes”

#Writespiration – 52 Words in 52 weeks – The Girl In The Black Hood
Sacha’s prompts are always good fun, and this week she’s challenged us to write about ‘The girl in the black hood.’ 52 words, no more, no less. For some reason this one came to me fairly quickly… She gritted her teeth, dug her heels in and pulled, the heavy load cutting into her cold fingers.Continue reading “#Writespiration – 52 Words in 52 weeks – The Girl In The Black Hood”
Snow Day
It snowed here on Friday. And Saturday too. Proper snow, like fat feathers falling from the sky, swirling around and settling on trees and pavements and rooftops.

Photo Prompt – By The River
Another photo prompt from Sue Vincent, this time an absolutely gorgeous shot of a snowy staircase leading through a stone arch.

An Observation, Part 5 – A Glimpse of Snow
It was a hot Melbourne day, the kind where the air is heavy and damp before 9am, holding the city hostage until a cool change blows in from the west. I was waiting for a train at one of the red brick rail stations so ubiquitous in the inner city, federation bungalows and Victorian housesContinue reading “An Observation, Part 5 – A Glimpse of Snow”
