One winter …
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you’re at!
Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea tray in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you’re at!
The Mad Hatter – Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Twinkle is a too twee word, much better things that sparkle.
One winter, many winters ago, the morning silently sparkled (and twinkled a bit):
Twinkle twinkle chocolate bar
Your dad drives a rusty car
Press the starter
Pull the choke
Off he goes in a cloud of smoke.

Indeed ‘sparkle’ is a better word for these lovely shots. But methinks there is a tad too much protest … {grin}
🙂 It’s the less than sparkling (twinkly) weather we have at the moment – it is getting me down 😦
Unhappily, I understand that such is almost always the case up north there, after a progressively shorter time each year. Melatonin might help – and no, I ain’t kiddin’ …
🙂
I totally agree with twee twinkle….much better to have a bit of sparkle! Lovely snowbound images
Many thanks Sue – shame it isn’t like that here at the moment, just dull and wet
😦
Bad luck…we in the South are having beautiful sunshine, but due rain later today….
It’s grim up t’north 😦
What a lovely post, Robin.Beautiful images x 4.
Many thanks Malin – just digging through the archive to remind myself how spectacular it can look around here (it doesn’t today).
Keep on digging, Robin! 🙂
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr, nice 🙂
🙂 and then some – thanks for stopping by.
Hahaha. Love the alternative songs. And the photos, of course. I have doubts that this will be the scene this winter in most of Europe.
You may be right – just back from a very dull and wet walk – http://www.blipfoto.com/entry/5055288
We are heading for Norway on Wednesday in search of snow and northern lights.
Have a fabulous holiday up there, Robin. 🎄 Hope you get some good shots of those lights.
Many thanks Julie – if the lights don’t show up, I will be contacting our lawyer 😀
Wonderful light in those photographs!!!
Many thanks, it was a very special morning (which shows no sign of repeating itself right now 😦 )
Sometimes I really envy you: what wonderful sights! But then, the Texas Hill Country is beautiul, too – only in a different way.
Have a great Sunday afternoon and evening,
Pit
Many thanks Pit, you too.
There is not much to envy here right now – very wet and dull. Texas Hill Country sounds very tempting!
I absolutely love the first image! Perfect composition….inviting!
Many thanks Robyn – I confess this has appeared before but I ‘dabbled’ with Photoshop’s Unsharp Mask to make it ‘twinkle’ some more 🙂
I want another winter like that 🙂
Just Prayin’ for Snow Sarah:

😀
fantastic photos
Many thanks, much appreciated
Amazing photos! Wonderful! 🙂
Many thanks – the stars are the light and the snow – anyone can point and shoot great images on a morning like that 🙂
Beautiful but better you than me!! THey do look like a Currier and Ives postcard tho, don’t they?!
Many thanks Tina – I love the cold and snow; we will be in Kirkenes on Christmas Day! I had to Google Currier and Ives – now I know – very educational this blogging lark 🙂
LOL! I thought about that when I said it. Very famous here 😃
I love these cultural surprises – I had thought to include this Youtube video by the sixties singer, Twinkle, but thought nobody outside the UK would know about it (you have to be a certain age as well 🙂 )
Super photos. Love them.
Many thanks Jean – I love these sorts of mornings. Hopefully we will get some more this year.
Lovely photos…but the poetry!! Marvellous! 😉
Many thanks Elle – the poetry is almost Wordsworthian 😀
Yes I’d have to agree…do you practise much? 😉
Wow fantastic images..
Many thanks – such an easy subject, it all looked so good from any angle.
