I thought I'd sneak in before Ranunculus heads for his favourite territory with some pictures of what the Dolomites look like when the plants are tucked up in their deep white covers for the winter. The boss and I spent a delightful week in the village of Pedraces this February playing in the snow, walking, skating, sledging, drinking, eating and yes.......after 54 years I even tried skiing!!!
You have to realise that when I was a student and involved in the climbing scene we delightfully referred to skiers as 'plankers' so there was a level of prejudice to be overcome before I donned a pair of planks.
Enough drivel, some pictures around Pedraces.
There was little plant life to be seen apart from the trees but we did capture some cotoneaster and a 'dwarf conifer' in a trough outside the hotel
