A winter wonderland was outside my window this morning - I just had to grab my camera to take a few quick shots before the next shower arrived...

Not quite so easy to see but the whole drive was white |

Taken 20 minutes later |
I left home at 9am to walk to the Community Nursery via Back Road- although it looked like snow, it was definitely small hailstones that crunched under my feet. Here's two shots - one looking back where I'd walked from and then in the opposite direction.
I walked down through the quarry to Horseshoe Bay and found the hail masquering as sand on the beach - the lighter stuff is all hail!
The rising sun was peeping in and out of the clouds as I walked along the beach to the nursery - hard to know where to point the camera as it's impossible to capture the magic of this special island. Weather like this is so exhilarating - a lot more interesting than cloudless summer skies!!
