TAKE A WORD

It's week five of Marie's new challenge TAKE A WORD and her word for this week is HOME.

That got me thinking about our weather here in the UK :  freezing and icy with that unmistakable silence created by fat meandering snowflakes covering our world in a fresh white snowy blanket.  Here is my HOME where the girl looks out on just such a snowy landscape.

I confess to adding the hand and the balloon but the mitigating circumstances are that my Muse made me do it!

Credit to CAJoline for the girl, the drapes and the landscape, Irene Alexeeva for the banister and NumbBum for the window frame and the balloon.  The hand and floor are my own.

Thank you for looking.

  1. I don't care if I did have on my best white dress and my straw hat, I'd not be going out as long as that hand was there!! Your mind is SO darned quirky, Ann. This is beautiful quirkiness! Well done.

  5. This is definately wintery and icy. I sort of feel like she just killed her husband and is watching him sink. Oooh, I gotta stop watching so many crime shows! (ps. I have never been on anyone's sidebar and thank you so much for my little blog being on yours. It means so much!)

  7. I have to say that it looks just as cold on the inside as on the outside!! What a whimsical and quirky look at the weather. I think the poor young woman could do with some central heating!! I love everything about this, especially the touch of the ominous metal hand. Fantastic.
