It's Here Now! by

…….the snow that is. Behind all that snow and trees stands my house that is usually seen from the end of my driveway. This may look black and white, but it is a color shot.
My two gateposts are lobster traps, one from Canada, one from the US, covered in Virgina Creeper in the summer. The straggly winter look is clearly visible here. This is very wet snow and you can see one long spindly birch hanging over the drive which when I walked back to it, after ample photos, I shook it off and it sprung right back to where it should be.

    A photo like this is so good for the soul when you are, as I am, at the start of what is forecast to be yet another scorching hot day in the high 30’s. Super shot Vickie, made all the better by it also telling us what it’s like where you live. I love it.
    Hugs

  • Sweet!
    Hi Peter, thank you so much. So glad this cooled you off lol. It’s really been a very beautiful winter so far, this is not cold at all. The snow, although lots now as you can see, was only a skiff till Monday overnight. So nice to see you, enjoy your hot weather if you can
    Ginormous hugs.

    I heard you got dumped on………………get out and get snapping lady :) Your property looks lovely!

  • I snapped and snapped and snapped some more that day. It’s almost still the same since we’ve had no wind, but Fred has blown snow now so the look is all spoiled. LOL
