☀Sunlit Sunday: Season 2, Week #7

Welcome to the seventh ☀Sunlit Sunday of 2013. 
  
Last week was (with 26 participants from 6 countries) the largest gathering that has been hosted at this little wintertime rendezvous. It's always a pleasure to see the names of familiar bloggers and to welcome others joining in for the first time.

I don't know about you, but I find that a poached egg on half an English muffin has a pretty sunny look about it. At least, it does if it's keeping company with some greens, red peppers strips, a mushroom and a juicy tangerine.




Outdoors, there was also some sunshine this week. Clear blue skies alternated with the grey ones; moderation works for me.




I couldn't help but notice the lilac bush and dogwood shadows decorating the surface of the sparkling snow. When young, one of the sheer delights of childhood was being the first to set foot on fresh fallen frostiness. To be honest, there's still a certain thrill in it! 



 During the upcoming week, I hope you receive, 

and give, 

a little sunshine.

  12. Mmmm breakfast looks good. I agree - first footstep on snow is always fun. I would look back at the first footprints and sometimes fall in the snow. Lovely photos.
