Mary-Lou’s Take Three Thursday post this morning inspired me to get outside with my camera. When I set the intention of completing 52 photowalks this year, I did intend to do one each week. The weather here has been so gray and so bitterly cold that any thoughts of actually going outside with the camera quickly vanished. So I’ll have a few to make up later in the year. Today, although it was still very cold, was a bit brighter and with almost no wind so I decided to take a walk around our yard. We got another 8 inches of snow yesterday and last night, and as you’ll see in some of the photos, there were still some snow flurries around this morning. I commented on Mary-Lou’s blog that at least the new snow made everything beautiful again.
Snow on a sprig of holly; likely to show up on the Winter Photography Scavenger Hunt.
Snow capping the bird feeders.
A dry hydrangea against a pure white background.
The fire pit; the Buddha’s head is all that’s visible. My St. Francis statue (new last summer) was blown over during one of the fierce wind storms and broke into three pieces.
Our fancy water sprinkler (which the grandchildren love). I couldn’t resist taking a selfie.
Looking out across the street. You can see the snow flurries on the camera lens.
Here’s hoping for an early spring. I’m pretty sure we have another month of winter to go. By the beginning of the week, the high temperatures are only in the teens again. Sigh.
Thank you for joining in Karen. Very pretty photos. I like the holly with a snow coat. In your selfie I can see that the wind was blowing you about! Your red Adirondack chairs amke a wonderful snow contrast.
