Its late March and in recent weeks we have seen the return of birds such as Lapwings and even Curlews to their breeding grounds here in Teesdale. Well they got a real shock this morning, heavy overnight snow left us with a white world. This was possibly the heaviest single snowfall of the winter and a bit of a reversal of the seasons.
Still, it was as ever a good chance to take the dogs out and carry the camera for any potential shots.
The lane was pretty well covered with snow and the tractor tyres had left their usual pattern which seemed to point into the photo. Walking on I passed a field or two where the hardy Swaledale sheep were in the open. By chance there was a small neat group just on the other side of the wall. Their interest was taken by the dogs who were running in the field that I was in. All it took was for me to line up the shot with the distant farm behind and take the shot.
You can't plan this type of photograph, what it takes is having the awareness of the possibilities to turn a simple scene into a decent photo, and some luck.
