Hi all šš»š
YEAH!!! THE FIRST SNOW AT MY CABIN āļøāļø I documented YESTERDAY the #accumulation of 9 cm of SNOW throughout the day. Let me also take you along today on a walk in the #garden and up the #mountain šļø to show you this #WINTER #WONDERLAND from 1 NOVEMBER 2024 āļøāļø
It is so #beautiful and it definitely feels like it is #Christmas šalready hahaha š¤£š
I LOVE THE SNOW āļøā¦ if you would wonder.
Todayās selection will be of 60 PHOTOGRAPHS
Dates are: the 1 and 2 of November 2024.
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my phone š±š¤
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my #adventures on this #walk, to šš»šš»šš» #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes.
Letās start right awayā¦ š
I knew for weeks that the snow would arrive soon. Thatās why I was hurrying the last weeks with the paint work outside of the cabin to get it finished. As it is to cold š„¶ now for painting.
Yesterday was finally THE DAY IT ARRIVED āļøāļø I so was looking forward to it.
At 9:47 h it started with veryā¦ very light snow, almost not visible. My surroundings were still frozen from the frost over the last days. Even the sun didnāt defrost it āļø during daytime.
The view over the valley, the mountains in the background disappeared.
MR. AND MRS. #PUMPKIN STILL HAVING LOADS OF FUN ON THE PORCH. Watching the birdies come to visit š Sadly nobody besides us visited them during #halloween ššš»š»
As you can see, they are a bit frozen š„¶
If you missed their STORY š from last Tuesdayā¦ have a look and read here: Mr. and Mrs. PUMPKIN š only wanted to be free and famousā¦
At 10:08h I see the branches are accumulating the light snow āļø
The view over the valley at 10:36h. The snow is getting a little bit heavier now āļø we do see some mountains and forests in the distance š
The #birds are gathering at the #feedersā¦ they are almost empty, so I will fill them up in an hour š¦āā¬š¦āā¬š¦āā¬
Look at the š visitors at Mr. And Mrs. Pumpkin š CUTE!
The snowflakes are getting thickerā¦ you see them now on my photos šø
Our #forest at the back of our cabin is also turning white now š³š²š³š²š³š²
The valley at 10:51h Friday the first of November š
I like the layers of trees that are still visible.
It is now an hour later, 11:26h as you can seeā¦ more snow āļø is falling down āļø and it stays. It is very fluffy and light snow. Luckily not heavy and wet.
Slowly the views are getting very white. Stunningā¦. How can I not take this many photos. š Ok okā¦ I took much more photos, this is just a small selection of them š that I wanted to share with you.
My #lavender plant šŖ“ is covered in snow at 12:19h
I decided to get a measuring tape out. Letās seeā¦.
Wow at exactly 13:00 h the snow is 4 cm deep āļøāļø
My view on the porch, as you can see, the bird feeders are right here in front of my kitchen window and front doorā¦.. so I can watch the birds feed š¦āā¬š
Our driveway is located here too.
Aaawww look at Mr. And Mrs. Pumpkin š they are cuddling together. They told me they are having fun as it is their first snowfallā¦ ever. āļøāļø they love watching it.
Back inside I take this capture of the valley. Everything is now literally covered in a layer of snow āļø
The trees are covered more and more at 13:21h š
Now you can see it is also gathering on the branches of the pine and spruce trees š²š²š²š²š²
So beautiful š what a viewā¦
I canāt stay inside anymoreā¦ š it is 13:32h now.
Letās wrap up warm š§¤š§£š§„ put some sturdy boots š„¾ on and head outside š
Are you joining me?
Yesā¦
Awesome.
We will walk first through our garden. Checking around the houseā¦. š”
Look at this little twig, because the snow is so light it still stays up.
One of my favourite photos of today šš²
My veggie š„š„¦š
š«š„ beds are covered in snow āļø
I did prepare them for the winter weeks ago after the frost killed most of the veggies in early September.
This is one of the wattling rings, where I had the wildflowers š¼šøš¼šø in that I showed you all frozen last weekendā¦ all cleaned up and winterisedā¦ it makes for an interesting form.
The temperature gauge on the inside of our shed shows -1 degrees Celsius
I must sayā¦ it is protected from the weather here, especially the wind.
As we walk further towards the front I see some plants š± in the snow that make for pretty photos.
Another photo I like a lot š this one is next to the drive way. That is a lot of snow that covers the dried out flowers.
The top of it, I zoom in close by š so you see good how fluffy the snow is.
Look at their #SMILES š
I capture some berries of the tree the bird feeders are in. Another one of my favourite photos š
We have done a full round in the garden now.
Letās walk further up the path /up the mountain for a little bit.
We see some abandoned buildings šļø on the right.
The #virginsnowā¦ nobody has walked on this path yet.
Letās be the first š hahaha š¤£
A smaller side path we created goes further up the mountain šļø let's go up!
Next to the path I see layers of branchesā¦. An awesome pattern š donāt you think?
Hubby besides the enormous treesā¦ āhi hubbyšš»šš»ā so you get a better feel of size of the trees in the forest around me.
Love #walking in the snow. It looks like winter wonderland āļøāļøāļø
My favourite photo of the day š„°
We headed back to the cabin now as soon the sun will set.
This is our view over the valley at 14:35h
I canāt stop watching outā¦.
So sooooooo beautiful. I get all giddy from it. Hahaha š¤£
The snow is getting higher and higher, slowly it is covering our tracks š£š£š£
At 15:00h I get the measuring tape out again.
Wowā¦. š® it is 8cm now. That is rather fast. From 10:30 until 15:00h 8 cm of snow āļø
The light changes now as it is #sunset š
The tree from the bird feedersā¦. Another one of my favourite photos š
The branches holding well with 8 cm of snow that came down this day.
The view is much clearer over the valley now. You see clearly the trees on the opposite side of the lake. It stopped snowing šØļø
I capture the wonderful forms of the white trees š²š³
At 16:00h it gets quickly darkā¦ the white of the snow does help to give me a few more captures.
It is COMPLETELY #dark at 16:20h and 2 street lights are our only source of light on this mountain outside. Ok, yesā¦ there is also a porch light I switch on too.
Mr. And Mrs. Pumpkin are fully buried in the snow. Warm enough for the long night. Lit up by the porch light šÆļø
At 17:50h I go out and measure for the last time. As it stopped snowing now and wonāt snow again until Sunday 3 November āļø
As you can seeā¦. It is 9 cm of snow āļø
Just AWESOME š¤©
As yesterday was a day without any sun āļø and I woke up this morning š
with the sun. I decided to capture the snow in the sunlight THIS MORNING. It rises at about 7:30h at the moment.
9:30h the #sun shines bright, but it doesnāt defrost all of the snow.
The Pumpkins survived the night very well and are still smiling š
I head outsideā¦. āļøāļøāļøāļø the sun is warm enough for me to go out quickly without a jacket š§„
Now the snow is there, I can find tracks in it āļøāļø
No idea what this animal will be.
Another oneā¦ it must have been small. š¾š¾š¾š¾
š Closeup from the Pumpkins š
I watch a little while next to the feeders. The birds are used to me so are not afraid to come and feed while I stand there š„°
Clear viewsā¦ some snow on the trees disappeared.
My lavender plant šŖ“ holding on hahaha š¤£
Will get it inside for the winter āļø
Mr. #Woodpecker came to visit this morning too.
Some #bullfinches (the red bird) came also. There are about 5 couples in the tree today.
ā¦and here I say thatās all for todayās post my friends.
