:O so pretty! Although I wonder why there was more snow in London than Oxford; it'd have been breathtaking had there been more snow ^^;; but still, pretty enough!

i know! i've seen oxford with a proper layer of snow once, back last easter; it's supposedly going to snow throughout the rest of the coming week, so maybe i'll get to see that again. ^_^

oh! Oxford looks pretty! Deer quad is such a liar name for a quad if they don't really have deer!

Oh, how lovely! I like this one (http://cellophane.carnival-hour.net/lj/snow2.JPG), the contrast at the edges makes it look like an aged photograph.

hee, thanks. the polaroidy contrast took me by surprise, but i do like the effect.

Oh snow! <3 <3 <3

The second one, and the deer quad photo on the left, are especially lovely - very old-world, wintery feel.

and thanks -- i really like the frosted-vegetation look, myself.
