Thank you Sarah… He just looked so tiny amongst these huge trees. And determined to get back to take his ski boots off! :D

Another trip to Narnia? So dramatic with the big trees and the small boy.

Unfortunately not… Only Austria this time… Small People had a long lesson, and this was the Five Year old marching back as quickly as he could to get his ski boots off. He had definitely had enough! It was a successful day though, and this view of the back of him just made me laugh! :)

Thanks Sonya, he was so funny… He had been complaining about how tired he was, but suddenly got a burst of energy when he realised how close he was to take those “blinking boots” off! :D

breathtaking scenery and it looks like there is someone in too much of a hurry to take it in!

Reply

bavaria February 3, 2013 at 8:47 am

I think he had definitely had enough of the scenery! Although he did say he wanted to go again this morning, so it can’t of been that bad! :D

Ohh, there’s a splash of colour through the trees there…

Reply

bavaria February 3, 2013 at 8:48 am

Yes, I think it might be a coach. Not so Narnia like! :D

Cathy February 3, 2013 at 8:53 am

Not so crazy about the snow (we’re getting more as I type) but love the photo. The little red boots are such a bright little spot of color against all the white and dark trees!

Reply

bavaria February 3, 2013 at 8:52 pm

Thanks Caroline… Austria currently has a lot more than Munich, although it has been trying hard to snow all day! :)

Stunningly beautiful shot as ever. What a scene to work with, eh? Midlife Singlemum hit the nail on the head when she likened it to Narnia. Happy Sunday.

Gorgeous! The red of the boots and the red through the trees ties it together so beautifully :)

Reply

bavaria February 6, 2013 at 8:21 pm

Thank you so much… I just had to laugh at his sudden burst of energy to rush back and get the boots off. I didn’t tell him that the boots are exactly the reason that skiing and I don’t get on! (:

Reply

My Two Mums February 7, 2013 at 2:39 pm

Wow, I’d love to go somewhere beautiful like that with all that snow.
