A seasonal annoyance due to cold, wet, dampness slippery roads and poor driving conditions of winter often detracts from my appreciation of the beauty of the outdoors this time of year. Not so this week I was immediately attracted to these tree trunks, shown above outlined with snow. The contrast of white on dark was very striking and I knew I just had to capture the scene with my camera. I had been out looking for Waxwings in this area but had no luck with that activity.
What is more timely a topic this week than a mountain top covered with snow as seen above. This is not quite Vancouver as our the Appalachians of Eastern Canada are old,worn and rounded with age, but nevertheless a winter scene considerably kindly to the eye.
A suddensnow squall at the railroad bridge set the scene for the photo above. The snow didn't amount to anything much, just a busy flurry for a short while, but it served as a seasonal reminder that winter is still here despite the warmer temperatures and melting snow that we have been
experiencing recently.

Sudden snow squalls is a topic I can identify with. :) I too like the look of trunks and limbs trimmed with snow. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThis has been one tough and weird winter. I love the picture with the snow falling on the RR bridge.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the snow on the trees was well worth a photo! Great shot! The snow squall is pretty cool, too. I'm glad you can find ways to enjoy the last of (I hope) winter :-)

Great photos - you have found beauty in winter.
ReplyDeleteWE had one of those sudden snow bursts last Tuesday, and some of the snow flakes were as large as quarters. It only lasted about 5 minutes.
ReplyDeleteI like the snow effect on the railroad tracks. Nice catch Ann.
