Our Beautiful World

Good morning!
I hope you are well ...

Today's prompt at Our Beautiful World blog has been picked for us by sweet Milagros
The prompt is "Birthday"

Birthdays makes me think of Wishes ...


Prettily wrapped Gifts


and beautiful Bouquets ...


I confess I found this prompt quite difficult ... bearing in mind that the object is to share something from my part of the world ... No newborn animals or birds to show you ... the flowers are fading ... and my birthday is in January
So I pulled a few things from my archives to share

 January ...  In the Zodiac chart this makes me a Capricorn ... The Goat


... And in my part of the world January is cold ... often on my birthday my garden is covered in snow ...


A snowy evening in my road


If not snow ... it's cold and frosty and crisp under foot


... and evening comes in all too quickly



 What's it like in your part of the world? What does "Birthday" mean to you?
We'd love if you could share with us at Our Beautiful World ...

I'm off to the blog to see what my friends around the world have posted ... But just before I go


Yep ... This is my "Birth" Day ... Obviously not taken by me!!
My Mum looks tired, my Dad is all dressed up for the occasion and my big brother ... well he doesn't look at all impressed does he ...

Have a beautiful Sunday

~ Ros ~

First of all so sorry for being MIA for quite some time Ros, wasn't something I intended to, but it has been such a hectic time at work... Bad excuse, I know... Anyway, I'm glad to be able to visit again and I really love your latest creations, you have not only been active, but very creative, too! Lovely creations as usual! Take care, Ira x

AWWW...you were such a cute baby, Ros!!! :). It's funny to see your brother's expression :). It was a tough prompt for me too this week, double that with not being able to be more creative with my camera, LOL.

I LOVE the snow shots most specially, so magical. Have you ever tried taking macro shots of the snowflakes?. Hugs.

I love your pictures for this week. Such a cute and funny picture of your birthday. My daughter has a February birthday and it's always cold and snowy for hers too. I think the snow is magical though and love it.
Thanks for sharing these with us!

Love all your photos! The scene of your neighborhood on a snowy night looks fabulous. The photo of your parents with you on your birthday is priceless! Such a wonderful photo to have, your father was handsome and your mother loos beautiful spite the fact of just having a baby. :)
