Some Snow Pictures

On Tuesday evening we got the tail-end of

a pretty good snowstorm heading up the coast.

Wednesday morning the storm was completely

gone and the skies were clear.

All the snow was real pretty in the early

morning, especially with the long shadows.

So I grabbed my little camera and took some pictures.

I wish I had my old SLR camera so I could have

composed some of the pictures, but my point &

shoot camera takes good pictures-

it just puts everything in focus, and I would have

liked to control that more.

We only got about 4 inches of snow here.

This picture is at 'cat-level' of the deck

with the cats paw prints in the snow.

Throw some more snow on the barbie.

Have a seat.

This is the magnolia tree.

It keeps its leaves all year round.

In the huge snowstorms of last year,

we had to go out and shake the snow

so the limbs wouldn't break from

the weight of the snow.

The birdbath,

closed for winter.

The row of leyland cypress trees in between

our house and the neighbors.

My backyard mailbox.

It is right by the water faucet, and I

keep some of my garden hand-tools

in it so they are handy.

A solar light in the backyard.

One of the bird-feeders that my

mom made years ago.

The swing set, no takers today.

A cold seat.

This snow was real light and

stuck to everything.

The kid swing full of snow.

The sun shining through

one of my apple trees.

A self-portrait with the cat wondering

what the heck I am doing.

Snow on the backyard fence.

Snow on the solar lights

along the front walkway.

Snow covering an Alberta spruce

on the corner of the front walkway.

Oops! Looks like I forgot to take

down one of the Christmas decorations.

Snow on one of the bird houses

in the backyard.

The other bird house along the fence.

Snow caught in the branches

of the cherry tree.

I liked the pattern of the snow on the rails of the deck.

This is a shelf on the framework of the

canopy we put up in the spring.

Snow clinging to more of the canopy framework.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures

of the snow.
