Yep. Tired of it. I hope our snow goes away tomorrow or possibly Sunday. There is hope anyway.
ReplyDeleteYou captured a lot of beautiful vignettes in your garden! Snow does have a magical effect on the landscape but I think I am glad we only get it in occasional doses.
ReplyDeletePhillip, those are wonderful photos. The contrast between the evergreen plants and the snow makes the pictures more colorful and also seems to accent the extremes between green and growing and cold and frozen. In my garden everything has died back so my photos all look black and white.
ReplyDeleteYour Mahonia seemed to have earned it's keep, determined to bloom no matter what. It's wonderful scent must have encouraged you to take the pictures despite the chill.
ReplyDeleteI'll check back later, right now I'm only seeing the second picture, all others are a minus sign.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely photo's .....
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Well, I know you aren't used to it, but I have to admit that it was a pretty snow! Now multiply that by day after day after day, and you'll see my dilemma. Boring! I'm so over the snow! But I enjoyed looking at yours----from afar!
ReplyDeleteSure, you get the beautiful fluffy snow, we got the coating of ice.
