first snowfall

comments appreciated, thank you

Oh no!!!! The thought of snow, ice, sleet and all the other goodies that come with winter. Hibernation time. Well seen and captured, Dick. Stay warm my friend.

Thanks, Lawrence! This is a dead flower, outside of my office door, this morning.

Already snow, so fast.... Very nice image. Regards, Jean-Marc

On April 1, you submitted 'morning snow' b/w...so you are a small six month snow free...:( Now then... Regards from sunny Italy

Yes,El....you are correct, where I live we have a very long winter. Fortunately, it tends to be beautiful. But, it can also be brutal which is why so many people in my area head to Florida or Arizona for several months when the snow begins. We had snow again last night, but now it is beautiful, sunny and 36 degrees(Fahrenheit). Thank you, as always, for the comment!

 

Best regards,

if you've got it, soon it will be in new england. i got two cords of wood this weekend and i'm ready.

Thank you, Jean-Marc! Yes, Mary, it will soon be coming. I'm sure you are happy to have your wood put up for the winter. Where I live they call it "making wood".

 

Best regards,

Very nice Richard. It looks like an intriguing ice cream cone flower. We had heavy snow in certain parts of quebec but just a sprinkling in our area - I ran off two shots but have not downloaded them as yet. I was busy marinading my fresh salmon to be cooked tomorrow for supper. best regards 6/6

Thank you, Tony! The salmon sounds marvelous!

Our growing season is just the four months between freezes; we go slightly longer than that, usually, between snows. Personally, I'm looking forward to photographing winter again: it's where you and I both started.

 

Nice sharp focus falling off into attractive bokeh here!

Thanks, Tim! I don't yet feel your enthusiasm about snow. I wish we had more summer or a longer fall, but I feel that way every year. When the snow starts I'll get back into it. This little group of flowers outside of my office draws me in every morning and has become a kind of seasonal barometer.

 

Best regards,

Excellent contrast, the new and the old united by beauty. Best wishes. Vicente.

Thank you very much, Vicente!
