Eliza Waters 
This could be anywhere right here in the Swedish countryside, you even have the stonewall!
I didn’t realize Sweden has lots of stone walls, but it makes sense. All northern countries that were covered with glaciers must have stone walls, so much debris was left when they receded. And more surface every year when the frost heaves! I pull more out of my gardens each year.
Wow! I wish I was there right now! ❤️ Merry Christmas, Eliza!
Thank you, Isha!
Amazement! Happy New Year Eliza.
Thank you, Cindy! Same to you as well. ❤
My goodness, look at all the green grass! Very pretty, but so unexpected.
I know, this is rare for this time of year. The weather has been particularly unusual this year. There was a 14″ of snow out there a week ago!
Such a pretty setting
Thank you, my neighbor has a pretty place for sure.
Truly New England! The only snow we have left are the banks.
The weather has been so inconsistent, even for New England! Is this Dec. or March???
That was fast! Beautiful!
Thank you, Susie. Even for ‘changeable’ New England weather, this was a huge amount of snow which disappeared literally overnight!
Our snow also melted a few days ago.
It literally happened overnight. Originally 14″ from the storm, then about 8″ that was left on Xmas eve disappeared overnight. Amazing!
It must have been beautiful with a snow cover.
I can’t believe it from 14″ to nothing in one week. Crazy!
The weather can’t decide what season it wants to live in!
IKR? Crazy!
Your photo reminds me of my time in New England. There were stone fences everywhere. We do not have rocks where I live.
Glacial remnants– there are an estimated 100,000 miles of stone walls here. Mind-boggling to think they were all laid by hand.
Such a lovely scene. I love the stone wall. 🙂
Thank you, Robin. One thing New England has lots of– our woods are full of them, great boundary markers. 🙂
Take away the New England dry stack wall and it looks like a scene from North Carolina.
Then I think I’d like NC very much! 🙂
I love the serene feeling I get looking at your lovely image, Eliza.
Thank you, Jane, one of the scenes I see on my walk, always a treat. Very New England!
Our Christmas snow is just about all gone too, but it was magical. 😀
Got us in the holiday mood and then left!
Heh 😀 yeah, well it better come back though!
I’m sure it will, we have months yet to go!
Love the view, but if we’re really not going to have steady snow on the ground this winter I say we skip ahead to March!😁
🙂 I’ll vote for that!
Wow, that was fast! Very nice capture, Eliza!
Thank you, Donna! 🙂
We’re all riding weather roller-coasters these days it seems!
It is really quite unbeliveable how variable it is!
What a remarkable transformation from last week’s snow. I suppose the milder temps are a compensation but I am wondering how muddy it is underfoot! Sending very best wishes for the New Year – whatever the weather! And of course hopefulness for the year ahead.
Thank you, Carol. For a couple of days there was a fair amount of standing water everywhere, as the ground was still frozen a few inches down, not allowing penetration. Most water ended up running off into streams into the watershed. Our stream and waterfall are still higher than normal, the falls were roaring!
Thanks for the new year wishes, let’s hope for a better year than the last.
That is interesting – I had not given a thought to frozen ground! The waterfall must be spectacular as well as loud!
Yes, we are all hoping for a better year …
What a peaceful shot ~ and it seems fitting for the last few days of the year, a bit of reflection and relaxation. We have a bit of this in Eastern Oregon now, a surprise flurry of snow Christmas day now melted, and a dreary calm outside today…which I found perfect for taking the dog for a walk 🙂 Wishing you well as you end 2020. Take care.
Thank you, Randall. The weather has been one extreme after another all month. Keeps us wondering what will come next!
Here’s to much better 2021.
It snowed here today, then it all melted. Mild start to winter…
Was that your first snow? We’ve had a few storms, but unusual warmth has melted it all away. Strange weather this year!
We’ve had a bit of snow but no real storms…Yet 😏
Nice golden acreage, Eliza. 🙂 Doesn’t look like much snow on the offing.
No, there doesn’t. No shoveling at least. 😉
Wow! That is very definitely melted. We had an extremely mild first half to December but the weather here is now pretty much normal for England. I think it’s a La Nina year with an upset polar vortex, or something like that.
Thanks, Adele. Yes, the weather has been unusually mild here as well. But there have been a couple very cold nights. Yo-yo weather!
Lovely! (All our snow has melted too.)
Thank you, Fi. A strange winter so far.
Is this your place Eliza? It’s a beautiful setting.
Thank you, it is a neighbor’s house, just a short way down the road. I always admire the white birches at the edge of the forest.
When I saw your photo, I thought… New England! Beautiful!
Thank you, Agnes!
