    1. Suzie has a wonderful birdhouse collection. I’ve been gathering pictures of it for a post, but couldn’t resist sharing this pink one – it looked so cute with a snow-covered roof.

  4. This storm has got to have broken a record for the most states blanketed with the same snowstorm. It really travelled. Your photos are amazing, considering you don’t normally get any snow at all.

    1. I was really surprised to be able to photograph a ginkgo tree at the golden leaf stage in the snow. Those leaves seem to fall at the drop of a hat.

    1. It’s part of a large collection, but I know for sure Suzie would miss every one of them, so it’s a good job you’re an ocean away!

    1. The autumn colours and wintry colours look wonderful together. It’s as if the trees were taken by surprise just as much as the humans.

    1. We were fine, thanks, although people who wanted to fly that day suffered delays. The snow vanished almost as quickly as it arrived and the roads stayed clear.

    1. Thanks for leaving such a kind comment. The whole day reminded me of my childhood – rolling up giant snowballs with my sister and just feeling joyful.

  11. What glory! I especially love that tidy, cozy-looking white house as seen through the snow-drooped crape myrtle — with white picket fence, no less! You certainly made snow the medium; these are wonderful images.

    1. It was a day to cast off the trappings of adulthood and just celebrate the bounty given us – and we took full advantage. I suppose knowing it is a rarity there helps everyone celebrate it more wholeheartedly.

        1. Now imagine the snow as a rarity + clear streets that aren’t particularly icy + the certain knowledge that it will all be gone the next day…
