A Walk in the Park

I know we’re all really fed up with the snow, but walking in the park this morning it was a real Winter Wonderland.
Hardly anyone there, the white silence was incredible.
A beautiful Conifer tree, etched in white.
The frozen lake….stilled by the ice.
No trains running today….:o(
Little Japanese Acer…sheltering from the snow.
A beautiful young Cedrus Deodara…….
Plenting of activity in the centre of the lake
And more living life on the edge……..:o)

Lovely photos and such beautiful trees specially the Cedrus Deodara. Those ducks look quite happy really - they do have a good layer of fat on them.
The sign for Rinso took me back a bit, I used to use that. What is it doing there?
That looks like a lovely walk Janey.

Janey, BB beat me to it. your phrase, White Silence, is just perfect. We love the crunch of the snow underfoot too. Lovely blog and photos. At least the ducks arent frozen into the ice - like we've witnessed on our local canal.

Plenty of lovely winter pics Janey. Hope you had a lovely hot cuppa on your return in doors....you deserved it. Adorable quack, quacks. :0)

Janey, BB beat me to it. your phrase, White Silence, is just perfect. We love the crunch of the snow underfoot too. Hope you're not struggling too much Ray/Jane, I really need more bird food, going to Wilks tomorrow weather permitting.

Hello Janey, I think your second pic may be of a Cedrus atlantica Glauca - beautiful tree, where is Blue when you need him.
9 Jan, 2010

Dawn....what happened with the ducks in the canal???
10 Jan, 2010
Lovely walk, Janey. Our town park is mainly on a slope, so it is very popular for sledging right now. Certainly white - but not silent. :-))
10 Jan, 2010
Ha..ha can imagine David....don't the kids just love it!!
10 Jan, 2010

12 Jan, 2010
Must be de-frosted Dd...ready for the oven now.......Lol!!
13 Jan, 2010
Hi Dotty, well the next day the duck was gone so maybe the ice thawed enough for him to get out.
13 Jan, 2010
Let us hope so........Janey;*)))
13 Jan, 2010
I'm glad the duchs have a little bit of water that hasn't frozen over. They seem to be enjoying it :o)
14 Jan, 2010
Lovely photos, all the snow has certainly caused problems but it is beautiful, I love walking the dog up the hill in this weather as the views are amazing.
15 Jan, 2010
A the beauty of snow. How I miss it here on our island. Lovely shots. Cute little Mallards as well.
17 Jan, 2010
Thanks Reem and Doon.....:o)
They do Hywel.....I think they're very hardy, did you see Snowwatch the other night....they were saying about a type of antifreeze waterbirds have and that their feet are mainly bone, they wouldn't freeze to the ice......:o)
