Sun, Snow and ....

dogs of course!

Snow arrived in South Lakes over the weekend, a light covering Saturday followed by a heavy fall later that evening. Snow, accompanied by blue skies and sunshine ... perfect weather to get out with the dogs and camera.

Our search and rescue pup was visiting for the weekend, so throw her into the mix and we've pretty much had a perfect weekend. The dogs have been doing their usual thing in the snow and I've been doing my usual thing of photographing them.

Some of the views and lighting have been stunning. This is a shot down the Lyth Valley towards Morecambe Bay taken just after a snow shower, with the cloud just starting to clear and the sun coming out ...

The Arctic Fox set perfectly against a backdrop of the Coniston range of mountains ...

Here's hoping for more snow!

  2. Whereas I hate, loathe and despise snow, you're pictures are spectacular. Anyone one of them could be a perfect Christmas card.

  3. Thanks Susan and Helen for your comments, glad you like the photos. We've had fabulous weather in the Lakes this week, it could only improve if we had a few more inches of snow! The dogs just love the snow and it provides a superb backdrop against which to photograph them.
