We had some freak snow yesterday morning. It lay on the ground for about an hour and the children made the most of it.
Pictured here is Toddler Adams, just before I helped her put some gloves on, who had great fun with her sister playing while the snow lasted. It wasn’t too much longer after this shot was taken that she came inside complaining of being cold. She warmed up very quickly after having a bath.
The picture was taken on a Nikon Coolpix L820, which is a basic bridge camera. This isn’t a camera I’d normally use, but my trusty Samsung has gone into retirement and I’m waiting for my replacement Canon DSLR to be delivered (sense the excitement in the tail end of that sentence!).
The pic was taken in smart mode in colour but I flipped it to black and white. Focal length was 4mm, ISO 180, exposure time 1/30 of a second and aperture f3. I have linked this image to the #MySundayPhoto linky. Click on the link below to see more images taken by other bloggers. I hope to link up next week with an image taken on my sparkly new Canon!

Oh wow I bet the kids loved it. Just the tiniest bit and we all get so excited! Looks like she has had enough snow now though x
The kids had an amazing time, especially Elizabeth’s older sister. She was out in it for quite a while longer.
Such a cute photo! We didn’t have any snow here, but I did notice some on the hills.
There’s time yet for snow Sarah, plenty of time yet!
Ahh lovely pic and hope your new camera comes soon. We had no snow, I’m rather glad, we can end up getting a bit snowed indoors here!
Thanks, it’s one of my fave pics of Elizabeth. I cannot wait for the moment that new camera arrives.
What a cute girl! Hennaed hands might be a marriage tradition, but for these girls it was just play. One of the sisters was practicing–
Thanks for you kind words about ELizabeth. Henna for play then? I imagine a lot of that goes on!
Glad the children enjoyed having fun in the snow while it lasted – looks like she’s holding out her arms for you to pick her up in this shot 🙂
Yes, I see why you would say that….but that isn’t the case. I’ll be honest. I asked her to throw her hands in the air to fill the frame!
Ooo what Canon did you go for?
We didn’t get any snow here…blooming cold but no snow
Thank you for linking up
Ah the Canon 1000D. I think it will revolutionise my life! Surprised you had no snow. You’re not that far away form me.
Fab photo! Sounds like you had fun!
We had a little snow Friday night but it was gone by the morning!
ALways the way isn’t it? Doesn’t settle for long enough.
Lovely photo! You must be so excited about your new camera.
I am as excited about my new camera as the kids were about the snow!
Love this! I always have to remind myself how excited kids get by even the smallest amount of snow when I’m getting irritated by it 🙂 Thankfully we haven’t had any yet…!
Oh the levels of excitement were pretty impressive. Although I imagine you never want to see the stuff again!
Great photo, I hope the kids enjoyed the snow. Before getting my own DSLR I used the same bridge camera as you, it was fantastic! Happy New Camera (when it arrives!) #MySundayPhoto
Ah the Nikon L820? It’s clarity is great and the zoom function on the lens is out of this world. I have found its functionality to be a bit limited though. More to the point, the kids loved the snow!
I like the photo in black and white, makes it feel quite dramatic and I suppose having snow in November is dramatic!
We didn’t have snow but friends just 5 miles away did.. Hey ho, I’m sure our time will come!

Oh I think your time will come soon enough! it does look quite dramatic doesn’t it? I hadn’t thought of it like that.
John, she is so adorable! I love the texture in the entire image, except for her face. The smoothness draws my attention making it a great focus for the image! Love it. Did you get the new camera? I’m having a bit of envy over here!!!
