When I first started out with the idea of finding colour in winter in this blog post, I decided to email Jen and ask her if she was up for the challenge to find colour in the snow along with me for some future posts...
Of course, Jen was game but she told me... "the thought of driving or walking around looking for a blue barn, would set me over the edge", and so the idea to come up with a variety of posts merged our thoughts together.
With a little persuasion, Lynn joined in along with Laura....
.... and thus started our "No Winter Whining" series...
...it doesn't matter if you have snow or not where you live, you still go through the seasons and I imagine, there must be times when you long for the time when the season changes so you can partake in a few different activities... so please join in!
... and I've started a new "page" which will list the challenges going on.
Today it's my turn to host the challenge, and lucky me, I got my first pick of finding colour in winter...
...it's hard though....
...finding colour where you think there is none... especially when you live in a remote area where there are few inhabitants whose yard you can lurk around in admire!
...but I tried...
....so, I hope you enjoy!

Gorgeous photos/photography . . . love your powdery like snow flakes . . . I will join in with this although my photo taking won't be until later today. Thank you for the idea and hosting and the invite from Lynn.
ReplyDeleteLove your colors! That bird photo is great. Will be linking up shortly-- and thanks!!
ReplyDeleteIt is always lovely to see a splash of colour in the winter months. I've joined in with my Splash of red cardinal. I don't do Facebook or Pinterest so won't be joining there, but will be visiting the others to see what colour they can find.
ReplyDeleteYou found lots of bits of colour in the otherwise black and white landscape.
Heather, I think that you have done a great job, it's harder and more challenging then we thought it would be, but it's also more fun.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE!!!the photo of the boat, it's magical, mystical...and makes me wonder where it is headed in your frosty countryside.

Well Heather, you did it. Congratulations on hosting the first No Winter Whining. Thank you for all the hard work in bringing all our plans together. Your pictures are gorgeous. The links are grand. I’ve met new people and am looking forward to the rest of the season’s contributions. Happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather. This is my first visit to your blog and I am linking up to your first No Winter Whining blog party. Thank you for hosting. I'm not going to whine but it is snowing and blowing here yet again, this afternoon. I'll spend it looking for some colour in blogs. Have a great day. Blessings, Pamela
ReplyDeleteLovely shots Heather, it's amazing how much colour you can find once you actually start looking for it! Linking up, thanks for this wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteLove that little bird, which I've never seen before, Heather. Thank you for hosting this creative meme today.
ReplyDeleteThese are great, but it's the boat for me. The idea as well as that red stripe pulls me out of winter monochrome-brain. Thanks.
