Getting ready for the Snow!

We decided to do some more 'peak bagging' while in Canberra, taking in recent snow falls. It also gave me the opportuniy to tryout my new camera.

Yes, it was a freezing wind but Bailey appears dressed for it as always. I was still working out the new remote shutter trigger thingy.

A historic occassion for our Suba (Subaru).

A carpet and reading chair were added in the warm loft.

The 'Firewood' collecting gang, the resulting roast dinners were worth the effort, along with a cozy cottage.

Sunrise revealed the Snowies in deep snow...

The 'View' of the mountains from the proposed gazebo site.

The fluffy French Poodle modelling his winter attire.

The front path is levelled along with some new steps

Still in 'modelling' mode, but awaiting a car ride.

Fashionable and Aloof at any length.

A wild and wet day climbing Mt. Rogers.

Out of the wind.

Early morning fog and frost.

More foggy scenes.

A view of 'Hobbit Hollow' just up from the house?

Even more snow after the fog clears.

A lunch time crowd averting their eyes from the snow capped mountains - briefly.

One of a pair of eagles often seen catching thermals over the valley.

Yes, in the Canberra Times social pages once again, this time from an opening at the National Portrait Gallery.

Bailey reunited with his old friend Christine.

The rest of the crew accompanying awe struck Bailey.

SNOW!


Kathryn's first snow in 15 years!

Yes, it was cold and wet.

What the heck is this stuff!

I think it is just another ploy to get me wet and soggy.

Karrartha Dreaming!

We got a bit more overnight.

Nothing like a bush tea to warm you up, along with standing beside the wood stove.

Must have snowed down to about 900m.

Cypress and Apple box gums

A little bit of the very distant snow fields is revealed.

Muppets are hard work requiring concentration or to teach them dance movements.

Mary Margaret comes to life!

Kathryn please adjust my hair a bit more!

Now keep them moving ever so slightly when they are not talking, such as making them look as though they are breathing.

Louie is a bit loud & boisterous isn't he Kathryn!
