Beautiful Sublime Sunday - Winter's first appearence
The winter has come so my contribution to #SublimeSunday by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday by @ace108, is about snow and cold weather and their effect on my beautiful flowers.
The first thing I saw this morning was the grim looks of the winter. Cities look awful during the winter. Grey, black and white, these are the only shades we see. I just had an epiphany: winter is beautiful in the countryside.
If you don't believe me, check this photo I took last year in my hometown.
But let's get back to the reason I don't like winter so much. Its effect on flowers.
The first snow of the year caught the chrysanthemums in full bloom. These are pretty strong flowers but I still hate seeing their beauty covered by the cold white layer of snow.
Despite the white plague (although snow is translucent just like ice), the mums still show us their beautiful petals.
And so it begins, the Winter I mean. Cold waves of snowflakes replacing the other seasons' colourful palette. I might like it though but only around Christmas. 🙂
Have a great Sunday!

Yes, the city ones I remember tend to have more grey.

It's snowing already over there. No signs of that here yet. Was pretty cold though.
The weather forecast is quite grim: yellow code for snow and blizzard. All this mess coming after the wonderful days we had until last week...not good for our health (both physical and mental). 🙂
You're in Netherlands, right? I believe winters are a bit warmer over there.
Thank you for stopping by 🙂
A bit warmer yes. Good luck over there.
Thank you. I will need it. 🙂
I love seeing the colourful flowers popping out of the snow, 🌺
Yes, it's a good image but I feel sorry for the poor mums. Today it snowed all day long. We have about 1 meter height snow. 😨
Oh...no it's there already i love the white Christmas spirit so beautiful i would just want to be there for a couple days over Christmas then leave as beautiful as it is i couldn't survive in the snow :)
Winters icy fingers are already gripping us, but the chrysanthemums are doing well to keep their pretty heads up out of the snow.
Wonderful photographs, I have to admit I like seeing pictures of snow far more then being out in the cold with it!
I really like the first photo, it might be grey but I like seeing the snow settled on branches, fences and everything else like that - it has it's own feeling of Christmas to it.

Thank you for your comment and support. Much appreciated.
It looks like the white season is upon us, grinning with its icy teeth. I like snow and how it covers the city's mess. But I would love to see it gone by the middle of January. 😂
I'm glad you like the photos. I want to take some shots of snow and ice but it is so cold outside. I suppose I'll have to motivate myself with a huge cup of hot chocolate and get the business done. It would be an interesting contribution to next Sunday challenge. 🙂
