Snow In May

Yesterday it had poured and poured so it was quite a surprise as I drove to work to see a sprinkling of snow on the Pennines. As I make a right-hand turn I always take a sideways look at Blencathra when it comes into view.

Gosh! I was even more surprised to see that all the Lake District tops were thickly white. I was busy and going in the wrong direction to make good use of the event but I stopped the car and phoned The Man who went out and drove westwards with his camera.

When I got to the studio I took a few minutes to look back from the car park and take a couple of shots for my own record. There have been a couple of small pockets of snow, even on the south-facing slopes since it last snowed. I wonder how much longer we will see white?

I came home to a surprise bunch of flowers from #1 Daughter. That will keep me busy when they open!

I had an interesting afternoon Zooming with Polina Plotnikova and a few others while she gave us an introduction to the full range of Lensbaby lenses. With advice from other blippers and a bit of research I feel I made the right choice with my recent purchases and am looking forward to the next session when we'll be delving deeper into their use.
