January Snow

After a year of blah weather, winter is finally here!  We didn't have a summer - only a few days of heat and sunshine and the rest were cloudy days.  It's been raining every week, almost everyday at some point since last June.

This winter has been very mild,  again with lots of rain and not many occasions where is's gone below 5C, and it's often been 12 - 15C.  

Today it was 0C, and I think the poor birds were feeling it!  The little fellow below was so cold he didn't move that much.  Maybe he was conserving his energy, or maybe he was just too cold to care.   I wish I'd brought some bread crumbs with me.  On the other hand, some animals were having lots of fun!  We saw a beautiful dog running around and playing in the snow, and as you can tell, she was born for this weather. 

 

These pigeons looked like they had together for a meeting.....or maybe they were gossiping.
