Snowy Saturday

Hi Everybody!

It's a freezing cold day here. We had a lot of snow in
the night, and it's been snowing more this morning,
so I've declared it to be a stay-home-and-keep-warm
day. I'm not as steady on my legs as I was a year ago, 
and I don't want to slip and hurt myself. The pics were 
taken early this morning; standing in the cold taking
photos in your pyjamas is a great way to wake
up quickly. The snow will probably be gone by
tomorrow!

I have another of my heads to share today. This is 
number 6 in this series, and probably the last one for
 the time being, but who knows? I did make quite
a lot of other ones in the course of the year, so
perhaps I will put them together to make a collage.
The quote is from Harry Potter  and the Order of
the Phoenix by J.K.Rowling:






Early morning snow:















Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  2. I like the head thinking profound thoughts. We're getting our first snow storm of the season today. Stay inside, stay warm, make art, and stay safe.

  3. I always love your heads - those on paper and the real one! This one is definitely no exception. We got some snow, the kids are playing in the garden enjoying it, I'm enjoying watching them have fun. Have a lovely day, have fun, hugs, Sarah

  9. The snowy photos looks very pretty Valerie. Just enough without being too much. I think lots of us are getting snow-ours hasn't started but is coming later today. And I do love your heads and I hope you have a few more along the way. This one is very true and interesting with the light and dark. Great quote. The Harry Potter series has some wise inspiration for sure. Stay nd and dry. hugs-Erika

  13. Ganz wunderschön deine neue Kopfkreation und die Worte dazu sind Etwas welches man immer bedenken sollte. Die Naturfotos mit Schnee sind auch wieder sehr gelungen. Du hast gut daran getan bei diesem Wetter im Haus zu bleiben, denn ganz NRW hatte mit Glatteis zu tun heute Morgen. Da sollte man besser nicht raus, wenn man nicht muß.
    Ganz liebe Grüße

  18. deine seite mit diesen kopf ist genial,was fĂźr eine tolle idee mit dem yin und yang und dazu die personen,der text ist auch klasse,ich hatte mal angefangen das buch von harry potter zu lesen,bin aber nicht bis zum ende gelangt,j.k rowling ist eine tolle autorin und schriftstellerin,ich mag sie sehr.
    bei euch hat es ja dick geschneit,die bäume sehen klasse aus mit dem puderzucker von schnee drauf,hier hat es auch geschneit und wir hatten gerade eine fahradtour gemacht als unds der schnee ßberfiel,beide waren wir klatschnass,pui.
    ich wĂźnsche dir einen schĂśnen advendstsonntag.

  19. I'm probably one of three people in the world who didn't get into Harry Potter, but I certainly love your head. I adored how you used the birds to surround the head and the stars inside. It's a lovely piece.

    It's good you didn't venture out because it looked brutal outside, especially the longer you took photos. It was so warm here yesterday and today is supposed to be even warmer: 65 F (~ 19 C). I really like your photos and maybe they will get me in the mood for celebrating or at least making Christmas gifts.

  20. Just done a whole week of catching up on your amazing blog with so much beautiful work and wonderful photographs. Love the shop windows as always.

    Hope the snow soon clears and you can get out and about again. No snow here yet though we are on the fringe of it according to the forecast for today

    Love Chrissie xx

  21. Such true words - another head full of wisdom! The snowy pics are lovely - we've got even more than that this morning, which is very unusual for where I live, but I don't know how long it will stay.

  22. Quite an interesting head page today. Something to really think on Valerie.
    I am so happy to hear you stayed at the doorway to take your lovely photos, the first snow is always the back breaker!
    We just got ours this morn!
    hugs,Jackie

  23. Another fabulous head page and I love that quote, it's one of my favourites and very apt for this one! Lovely snowy pictures too! Even though large parts of the UK are covered in snow, so far we have not had one flake, just cold and frosty...
    Have a good week and stay warm!

  28. Lovely to see your snowy photographs, I always thinks it makes for a quieter world somehow ...it seems to have quiet beauty.

  30. I'm with you on the concern for slip-and-fall. We've had snow all day -- lots of it and deep and I haven't ventured out either. I'm probably way behind on your posts. I don't think I've been online for several days! But I promise to catch up!
