Finally, we got some snow, only about six inches, but the first substantial snow since December. Is there anything more beautiful than new snow, blanketing and erasing all that brown? I think you can feel the peace and quiet from these photos I took last week.
I love the shadows created by the sunlight on the new white palette, above.
Left, it looks like the tree is emerging through the snow, like a new plant breaking free of the earth.
Snow smothers the streams, so we get just a glimpse of the water. Everythinng is tinted with blue.
What stunning photos, Kathy. It's been a very long time since I saw snow, but I can smell, taste and feel the crisp air of it from these images. Thank you for that—and, as always, for your elegant and profound descriptions of the world around you.

Beautiful. These photos show so much of what I adore about snow--the shadows, the colors in the shadows, the subtle and dramatic play of light and shadow. Thank you!
