When it snows, you gotta' go out and take photos

Tom helped me get my boots on.  Armed with my walking stick and my camera, back brace firmly in place under my layers, and my trusty care taker at my side, I ventured out into our winter wonderland garden.

 You can't keep a photographer down.
Tom helped document with his iPhone camera.


 Tom and Jake did some pruning on the cedar tree over the patio yesterday, so we have brush piles.



 My poor potted pansies on the porch are trying so hard to hold their heads up.
 I guess the wreath can stay up a while longer.


 I think we'll be staying home today.
 The spirea says spring is coming even as winter makes its statement.
And the best thing about our snow?  It fell on a Saturday night, to be enjoyed on Sunday morning, and it will mostly be gone by Monday.

    Beautiful fresh snow must be photographed. I loved the photo with the birds. You are right, it is even nicer when it snows on a Saturday night and is gone by Monday.

    These are fabulous winter photos. The snow is lovely. Is that really a quail family, I'm seeing? Or is that a lawn ornament? I'm just thrilled to see you up and photographing already.
