Shadows falling on Snow.

This 2011-12 Winter has been unusally

mild for the New England region,

compared to the past several winters

which have been bitterly cold 

and where it seemed to snow
almost everyday.

A few days ago, ol' man Winter and

 his favourite companion, Snow,

came for a long over due visit.

The Juncos, Cardinals, Sparrows,

Wrens, Nuthatches, Woodpeckers

and the like all hopped to it,

they were in a feeding frenzy

for they knew there was snow

and lots more of it on the way.

Much of yesterday was spent by keeping the trenches clear 

which was fueled by a number of cups filled

with steaming hot chocolate.

This morning we were greeted with

bright silvery Sunshine

and a fresh blanket of deep snow.

A deep blanket which will be

greatly appreciated by all

the sleeping beauties of the Spring

nestled deep in the ground,

Crocuses,

Daffodils,

Grape Hyacinths,

Lily of the Valley,

Snow Drops,

Irisis. 

The fresh snow also gave me a chance

to play with the new studio camera as well!

Cheers!!
