Our Village Outdoor Christmas Decorations

A few days ago we walked through the village to see the different outdoor Christmas decorations. Sad to say some decorations looked a little frazzle as it was windy a couple of days before. These decorations will stay up all January until the end of the month. One thing I love about living in the country is that people make their own décor using a little bit of nature.

The first two photos are of our decorations. We used a little bit of holly and fir branches with a lot of mistletoe to finish.

 

The rest of the photos are from all over the village.

 

 

 

Biggest Snow Storm of the Year

I’m posting this even though the story is a month old of a major (and biggest) snow storm we had. I haven’t seen snow this deep since I was a kid!

It started snowing on November 19^th and continued on the 20^th. We could not go to work as all the roads were blocked. So I’m posting some photos (in black and white) of my walk on November 20^th and the day after when it was calm and sunny. After a month we still had a little snow left over until it rained and washed it all away.

 

The next day, November 21st. It was a beautiful day for walking. All photos in colour.

 

 

 

Cats of Riverie Part 4

Some of these photos were taken in Autumn, while others were during winter. I have been using a Canon 20d for these photos and really enjoyed it.

 Beautiful Main Coon!

 

 Curious cat!

 This poor feral cat has had a tough life.

 

 

 

 She looks like she is laughing. It's a funny photo.
