Description
I opened up my sons telegraph the day before yesterday and guess what! Luxulyan is covered in snow! Only - it isn't! The image wasn't Luxulyan, it was taken from the top of Imery's Clay trails looking over towards Roche, a village on the way to the Northside of Cornwall! So far, at least, apart from that flurry last week, we have had frost only and not even one flake of snow! How we, along with Par, St. Austell and a few other villages are escaping, I've no idea, but I'm awfully pleased we are. Perhaps, after all the recent flooding the local villages suffered, it's just as well though commons sense tells me sooner or later we will get it!
This is the lake a couple of days ago. It is still overflowing from the flooding, the tufts of sedge showing through the water off centre to the right being the normal lakes' edge and I'd already waded through 10 or so metres of flooding to get this far.
According to those that 'know', we are officially the coldest country on earth - apparently. So - I'm off to the Antarctic, which is now one of the warmest! Didn't we do well! ^=^
Hope my fellow country folk are not suffering too badly.
Thank you for taking the time to look. ^=^

It looks so lovely, but I'm surprised at you, Carpathia! After all those recent accidents you WADED into this for the sake of your art? Madwoman!

This is really intriguing. I live not far from the coldest averaging city in the US - Truckee. :-) I can feel the calm in your photo - like it's just waiting for something to change.

WOW...your feet got all squishy for the sake of art! WOW! And look at what you got! This is superb. In the state of Illinois, we have quite a number of wetlands: they look like this on purpose. Illinois is flat and rather low, so water tends to seep everywhere...and so it's not surprising to see "flooding" even when there's been no rain or snowmelt. I love stuff like that, and maybe it's the remainder of the kid in me that always seeks marsh-dwelling dinosaurs in scenes like that; at any rate, I love scenes like this, and you've captured this perfectly. I love every bit of it...even if it lacks duck-billed dinosaurs. Oh well...
