Good timing yesterday

Well the weathermen actually got it pretty spot on. Overnight we were treated to a layer of about 5 inches of fresh snow. Luckily I went ot the Lakes yesterday as today the A66 was closed from Bowes to Brough. After seeing Esther off to work safely in my car I walked back home with the dogs through the snow covered lanes. I diverted up through the woods and onto the moor where the call of the Red Grouse was about the only sound. By now it was quite misty and very atmospheric and some of the scenes were very inspirational for future paintings.

An almost monochrome scene through the trees.
