Interlocking Snow Spurs

.... on the way to the little summit above Bovonne this morning. The extra shows the view back to the Dents du Midi with the farm at Bovonne beginning to emerge from the snow. It was good to get some exercise.

This afternoon I made the mistake of emptying the garden pond to remove the sludge that had built up over two years! Last year my knee would not allow me to do it. Now I need to lie down and recover. That is the only gardening job that I really do not like... it stinks. However we have a colony of frogs now, and newts too. Where do they come from?
