Snow attributes neatly arranged against the wall is what caught my eye here. It is probably a common sight in the Ardennes, but not where I live. We don’t get all that much snow.
This little display reminded me of my former neighbor who had a hardware store. We could always tell when and if snow was predicted. Each time he put a sled and a snow scraper out on display in front of his shop we knew he was hoping there would be enough snow for him to finally be able to sell his stuff. When the snow threat was over, he’d put them inside again. Each year, these items remained unsold and they disappeared to the back of the store again.
Until the next Winter, when the first snow was predicted …

I am attracted to the curve of the window in the door!
and the light sconce. oh and that bell!
Stunning wall textures highlight the interesting window feature of the ironwork and the magical curved window in the door! Beautiful!
Nice picture. I am ready for warmer weather so I can ride my bike. April is less than 2 months away.
What a gorgeous door and I really enjoyed the story about the sled showing the snow prediction. Adorable!
Great story. I love that sled.
Lots of things to appreciate in your wonderful photo, Jientje
Love that wood door!
This picture brings back lots of warm memories. With plenty of snow around here that shot could have been from my childhood. Love that old sled. I still have the sled I used to use as a kid and it still beats out anybody on the hill. LOL. We don't use it anymore though because of the metal runners, now considered a danger.
Lovely door and window ....

the reflection of the snow covered tree is wonderful
the entire scene is lovely
What a marvelous picture and story, jientje! The reflection in the window is like a painting! :ove it! :)
The wooden door and sled, the snow, the lace, the reflections - so much to love about this shot Jientje!
I loved your story about the hardware store owner.
I love that picture! They say 'every picture tells a story', but it would be truer to say 'every picture should tell a story', I think. Anyway, that one certainly does.
Nice capture!
your weekend away sounds wonderful, and I love the pics you got!
I like the sled, such a reminder of times long ago!
Have a great weekend!
