:: Snow pix

Here are some photos from the weekend:

First a "white hell" shot of Bertie in a slight blizzard. It was quite dark, but I turned the flash off after discovering I'd taken a photo of lots of bright white lumps. 

And a few from Cramond: 

 

Bright and sunny, but snow right to the water's edge.

Brrr. On the left, across the River Almond, the little Cramond ferryboat is tied up ... you can't see it, it's too dark. It's closed until further notice - ie forever - which is a shame. It was lovely being rowed across the river for 50p. 

The goose in the foreground and the swan just off to the side are obviously King Pins of Cramond. They had followed a couple with a small, nervous dog all the way from the boat sheds, quite a distance, walking quite slowly because of the slippery snow, but menacingly in a Jaws "dum da dum da dum da" kind of way. Bertie was terrified when the swan hissed at him, amusing considering he'd been excitedly chasing swans just the day before.
