Winter has Arrived!

We awoke to a white world today.  The snow was not very deep, but it stuck to everything, creating a winter wonderland everywhere you looked.  We were lucky with our wonderful late fall weather right up until Friday, so it would be poor sportsmanship to complain!  And it will give me a few new pictures for the blog.

Looking out the living room window.

The distant townhomes.

Spruce and pine.

Even after we came home from church and had lunch the line of pines retained some of the sticky snow.

Our copper crane got a first light blanket of snow.

This snow stuck to the almost vertical back of the red deck chair.

Redbud branches.

The neighbours cedars.

A clump of Blue Oat Grass.

And I just managed to catch the tail end of a fox running across behind the yard - great picture, eh!

  4. We just had a few random flakes of snow here this morning. I am not ready for winter although I had my snow tires put on this past week. Your shots do look pretty though.

  7. Shy fox! I'm glad someone else is "enjoying" the snow. We had a bit more today but just a skiff on the driveway so no need to shovel. Your snow looks wet - perhaps it will melt in the next day or so.

  8. We must have encountered the same snow cloud down here in Bayfield. It was kinda nice to see the snow today but I'm ready for Spring now. In the first photo it looks like a Blackbird flying by.

  9. So the first snow is usually heavy and wet but it looks good.

  12. There is nothing like snow on evergreen trees. After looking at your photos, I think I’ll have a hot cup of tea!

  13. Some photographers would work hard to take a photo of a fox like that. I like the shot. Your winter looks familiar in your back yard. I am not happy about it as much as I use to be. Your yellows sure do shine out among the white. I am going to miss the gardening side of life for now.
