Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Snowville, because the hapless Tick is snowed out.

With apologies to Casey at the Bat by Ernest Lawrence Thayer - 1863-1940

Just above the "No Carts" sign there are foot (or paw) prints going across the picture, I am guessing, from right to left. Someone found it to be a short cut to journey across the golf course. It may have been that little guy in the corner playing through. I am definitely not a snow person but it does make for a beautiful picture.

I am not fond of snow, Tick. But this scene is lovely, it's only a photo. :)))

I could go all winter long with no snow, except a white Christmas is nice , but it was not to happen this year. Tick, I like this one,at least I'm not out in it, and I got a kick out of John's comment. tigz=^..^=

We haven't had any snow at all Tick. The minimum temperature here has been 40�F. Global warming is showing us a clear sign. The course looks nice even with the thick white coating!

Usually ours looks like that but not this year. Husband is still out there. Hopefully it will make our winter shorter. Nice capture.

You can always use a wintertime ball - and a shovel, of (excuse the pun) course!

Good presentation and poetry...Faved

Tick, congrats on your third place finish in the contest. I am happy for you and hope to see the "Course Open" back up when the snow melts away and the green green grass returns!
