a Christmas street in the snowy lands...

Not a single, 'artificial' Christmas decoration in sight, and yet this street scene seems so Christmasy...
Snow is a wonderful, magical, natural decorator...
Happy Christmas...

snow in November?...

My soul place has so much character...
It's spring nearly summer, but snow wants a cameo role...
No snow on my Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, but at 8:30am, it's just 8°C...with some fragile, intermittent sunlight... https://t.co/UbFqlum9DU

It was a pretty cold night for #Tasmania. Preliminary data suggests a few Nov minimum temperature records have been broken, and also some late season min temp records too. As for #Hobart, 2.9°C at 5:39 am was the coldest Nov temp since 1953... 68y ago! https://t.co/76eq0GQiga

There's a freshness, an innocence in the glow of morning sunlight on snow...

memories of Blackheath days...

Blackheath days seem so far away...
Quite normal to pack bags Friday after work+travel from Camden to the Blue Mountains- Leura+Blackheath - for the weekend...
In spite of all those travels, never saw snow there...
Sighhhhh...
(Love the footprints in the snow...Quite haunting...) https://t.co/UvLqwCCzYZ

Mt Buller's winter in Autumn...

And now Mt Buller adds to Mt Hotham's overnight of snow...
And this is autumn???
Just checked the temperature on my computer...13°C... Nope...Didn't reach the predicted 15°C on my peninsula. It's mid-afternoon + the temperature is bound to turn around and go down... https://t.co/p1SfFQRdz2

winter in autumn...

It's still only autumn...
But the predicted 15degrees is still elusive (a mere 12 late morning on my peninsula)...
And Mt Hotham recorded snow last night...????
This is going to be a long and icy winter methinks... https://t.co/GP6jS3xCFo

6 eagles a-waiting...

These eagles look very formal... maybe waiting for a Royal Commission to begin on the charge that humans have destroyed their environment. I notice that 3 other gowned personnel are also waiting in the background... What a scene! https://t.co/Af99cyBCNm

Jacob's Ladder...

Great road for thrill-seekers...Jacob's Ladder is a steep, zig-zagging, unsealed narrow road on Ben Lomond...Only managed to drive up half-way many years ago, before a blizzard 'drove' us back + a complimentary, accommodating snow plough gave us a helpful push when needed... https://t.co/Skv6Tx870G
