and yet so close

Right, most definitely right, as I see it. Hate to tell you Lilly, but I have that sunshine too.

The Weather Gods totally lost track ............

Bonne année à vous deux
JP

Our seasons seem to be as confused as I can be, we may have wind and rain but the temperature is still warm !

Aw Lilly!! Can't you see the sunshine ? It is so obvious staring at you !!!A golden sun amid the green ?
Tut tut tut !!! You need to go to ophthalmologist dear !

There is a message we are being sent here. I do so hope we are getting it

Une très belle composition!!! j'aime

:)
very nice shots!
Amazing & lovely!

With us bloom some flowers too, the weather is confused.

excellent shot

yes, it's an upside-down world, weatherwise ...
(and i thought that pretty flower had taken the opportunity to escape to warmer fields through that hole in the fence ... ;-)

Flowers started to bloom here a couple of weeks ago and my dogs started shedding their winter coats it was so warm. Now today it is only 35 degrees F (1 C). Those poor flowers are so confused and my dogs are cold!

Lilly's flowers seem to have made a break for it. Headed south, I guess.

We had to put the AC on for Christmas Day this year. Now it is 29 (F) today but the sun is shining. No snow in sight here in NJ. No flowers in bloom either.

Yes, Weather is so unpredictable these days. Wonderful images and statements ... Worlds Apart !
And interestingly, Ronnie is right. Lovely presentation Lilly and Ronnie. :)

Excellent. Great idea and details. Like it very much.

the contrast is great in your photos!
here in belgium we have an early spring with good temperatures, lovely sunshine and even some apple trees are in bloom. ;-))

Interesting capture. Super.

Great composition of contrasts!! While we are in winter, it's nowhere near as bad as last year.....yet. And the days are finally getting longer once again.

If I were that flower I would run through that hole in the fence in search of warmer weather.... Though if I were a flower, I would be rooted in place and would have to suffer whatever mother nature sent.

Beautiful ! as a postcard....:-)

Woooooo, bel humour, mais j'aime beaucoup ces 2 clichés.
Superbe le passage dans le grillage. )

Great message!
Well done

Wonderful presentation ! Beautiful photos and giving hope to the spring ...

We have less snow than usual years in Japan. We are at the "R" side.

Perhaps the worlds are connected by a wormhole originating in the flower image.

superbe

Wonderful juxtaposition of trapped snow and new flowers trying their luck! Just what our new climate is like!!!

The contrast has been very nicely presented. I gladly communicate that cold, snow in the mountains, and the heating bill are now at their usual levels for this time of the year.

The Sunshine is coming and I wish you 2 the best wishes for 2016

What a contrast!
We had sunshine on new years day, today lots of rain. Sun came out. We'll have more rain tomorrow.

Warm, wet, damp weather for us most of December and today it is only 29 degrees... it will be a short winter this year! Wonderful set of photos! Doing well, thanks for asking; been busy with DIY home improvements for the past 6 months. Have a great night!

Excellent ,Lovely.
have a beautiful weekend.

Reading Elaine's comment reminded me that,yes, we had some fruit trees that were beginning to bloom around here ..But none of that now: `12C in Easton, Pennsylvania the last few mornings winter is back...Lilly keep your skis waxed and tires in good shape And stay warm if you can <3

Très beau contraste entre le souvenir et l'espoir! Excellent, comme d'habitude.

Our weather is twisted too. There are scattered summer days on my Mornington Peninsula, but cool, often strong winds and cool nights feature too. Some of the trees have been losing their leaves. And yet, in the west of Australia, it is hot, hot, hot.

Le petit passage et le treillis et quelle fleur superbe
Bravo et belle soirée
Nicou

The contrast is fabulous and I love Ronnie's sunshine ... those worlds should be able to coexist to make life more enjoyable :))

I am getting tired of shoveling show. I need flowers NOW!

...but I prefer the spring.

A nice picture, dream is allowed! I love all the seasons of the year, they all have administrator has disabled public mystery and enigmatic!:-))))Haleja.

Happy Friday my good friend Lilly and Ronnie!

hayyyy Lili !!!!! no puedes ver el sol ??? no importa esto es algo que Ronnie una vez nos dijo a sus amigos de Aminus ." Lilie es el sol !!!!" . un abrazo grande amigos . Alejandra

The door of the winter is opened but sometimes as at this moment flowers make a mistake about season!

Great idea!! Amzing!
Me gusta la contraposición entre la libertad que ofrece la margarita en su entorno verde y la verja de alambre en un paisaje nevado.
Love it!

Yes we are indeed blessed with our weather over here, are we not Ronnie?

Snow is still not there but i already dream of spring and its profusion of flowers...
I'm back from Burkina Faso and i wish you & yours all the best for this new year 2016!

the seasons go on the head ;)

Indeed the weather is unpredictable. Nice one.

I guess the wasps will be out early too, not to mention the cat fleas. (will consult with cat when she wakes)

Don't despair Lilly the sun will come back again. It is our summer but it has rained and stormed for the past week, but it is so hot and humid.

A door in the snow

Un très grand merci et belle journée
Nicou

Un très bon contraste !!

Si ton climat ou ton monde te désespère, regarde à côté ou ailleurs et tu trouveras de belles choses sous le soleil.

Too true, too true

No Snow up by Seattle. Nice photo.

That lovely flower is a miniature sun all on its own!

We are somewhere between Lilly and Ronnie--weather-wise. No flowers, no snow.

I've always loved a torn fence ! I'm happy for that yellow flower .

Renaissance ! Superbement bien vu et composé .
