Unawares and a double take - I looked out the window and saw a wonderland unfolding

[Mira]

Amazed I stepped on the porch, not to believe my eyes. We may get one or two snows a year, and that would be in Jan. or Feb.



Then a quick look to my left

I stopped in to visit with the suffering and surprised Geraniums and pansies









Now that it looks as if "White" will be the theme (did you vote yet WJMS?)
we won't have much trouble with it, even here in the South.

1. Lucky you!

I absolutely love the first one. The still green ground under the white snow, the chain link fence on the retaining wall, wrapping around the corner of the block. Though the colors are very subtle, they all seem to pop out against that all the white snow. I love the others too, but the subtle coloring and composition of the first pretty much won me over.

2. I really (really, really...10 x really) like these.

I love the flowers and the snow.

The B&W is awesome!

And the first is excellent!!!!

3. I like the pansies crying snow.

I love pansies.
I should grow them more, they do ok here.
One of those memory flowers from my grandmother's farm house.

4. I like those a lot. I like the red geranium. It is startling.

5. That pansy

really does look a bit annoyed. LOL.

Ther geranium shot is wonderful. Kind of like a little red flag waving for some attention.

We don't get snow here. We have to drive to the mountains to see it. I wish it would come to us a couple of times during the year.

6. I love snow

and that little geranium looks so lovely mulling over the new snow... just a dusting here in Burlington tonight... driving up from the south there was none and the ski resorts are all making the white stuff...

7. actually, I love # 1 & # 2.........

There is a simplicity and directness about them. They almost have the quality of an etching or Bavarian stone lithograph.

I don't know about the white theme....here in the SF Bay area there isn't a lot of white...but I did go out today and start noticing white things....like paper whites aka narcissi blooming. I have found when I try to photograph white, there is a lot of blur in the photograph.

8. Superb Close Ups Mira

What I wanna know is did you get those helpless babies inside to where they could recover??? <grin>
