NCR - Festive Photos






















This is my entry for this month's No Croutons Required.

If you would like to join in the challenge then just get your camera out. Just submit a festive photo, it doesn't have to involve food, just try to capture the mood of this festive season. My photo is a shot of the Scottish countryside on a frosty winter's day. The ground is crisp and crunchy and the air so very fresh and nippy, lovely.

Email your photo along with a title to me at nocroutonsrequired@googlemail.com by the 20th December 2009, with a link to your post that features the photo and your name and location. As usual, the roundup with run from the 21st December 2009 and the winner will be announced on the 31st.

Hi Sarah, the Scottish countryside is very beautiful and very hilly!

Thanks Andrea :)

Thank you Pam :)

Is it giving you homesickness pangs Richard?

Hi Rose, It is more pretty white frost we have just now, although there have been a few flutters of snow that haven't come to much, but everything is so white and gorgeous just now.

My favourite kind Val, well apart from a hot summer's day of course, I could quite happily pass on all the rest, especially the rain.

Thanks TB :)

And a lovely smell it is too Alex :)

Thanks Fleur :)

Taking time to get acclimatised now you are home again Johanna? No more cute little snow suits for a while.

I feel the same Alexa :)
