We woke up yesterday to Nature’s idea of an April Fool’s joke—two fresh inches of snow. I took a few photos in our yard in the morning. As I was driving home from volunteering later in the afternoon, I decided to stop and take a walk down Mt. Hope Ave. The sun was out, the sky was blue, and there was some potential for a few good shots. First, three from our front yard.

And my usual favorite, a snow covered hydrangea.
About four hours later walking down Mt. Hope Avenue:

View #1
View #2: probably my favorite of the walk; I love the white branches against the bright blue sky
And two photos of Mt. Hope Cemetery. Founded in 1838, it was the first municipal cemetery in the United States. It covers 196 acres and has over 350,000 graves. It’s famous as the resting place of Abolitionist Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, known for her work in the women’s suffrage movement.
My understanding is that our free time is very limited while I’m in Washington, D.C. but I’m hoping to find enough time to add one or two more photowalks to my collection while I’m there.
I don’t envy you the snow at all. It is actually starting to look/feel like Spring around here with temps mostly in the 50’s. We had a beautiful 73 last Saturday!
Very pretty, but I agree the time for snow is well and truly over. Spring is here so let’s see the evidence, please!
Oh, my word. I don’t think we’ll be moving to New York anytime soon. LOL Snow is pretty to look at in a photo but with hummingbirds in my yard, roses bursting with new buds on canes and wearing a light raincoat (yes, it’s a rainy week) over a t-shirt, I’ll stay here. Enjoy DC, waiting for more pics.
Those trees are magnificent & I agree white birch against a beautiful blue sky is perfection. Lovely walk, thanks for sharing your views with us.
Oh golly, the projected snow did arrive then :(. You have my sympathies. We had sleet last week and I felt quite miffed! But your photos are very lovely, with the contrast of the blue skies and the white snow. My favourite is that beautiful birch tree.
