    :thumb: Here are my votes then... It was not an easy decision for any of them as there were 6 that really caught my eye, but I felt in the end these three expressed the theme best to me....

    1st... Victoria... Slow Awakening.... Such delicate beauty colour & shape... Really does make me feel Spring is around that corner somewhere.....

    2nd.. Kindredspirit... Sentinels in the Frost..... They really do stand right & call out to you I think, another one of natures seasonal wonders...

    3rd... Kathy 3... Snow Again... I love the clean symmetrical lines of the walls in the snow the cliffs leading to sea & sky, but it is the bare trees standing right out, making the photo....

    :cl-p: Well done everyone some superb photos, good luck everyone.. :thmb:

    Snow Cart - Naylors Ark clean Simple lines and snow how it 'should' be
