20130228 060 SERIES - Home 1r1.jpg

Hoime

Two days after returning from our nice warm vacation in Saint Lucia, we had a major snowfall. About 40 cm of very wet and very heavy snow fell over a 24 hour period. The snow was so heavy on the trees that many branches broke under the weight of the snow. The one plus is that during a snowfall and the day after, it is most serene and beautiful outside; that is, until the plows and cars start messing it up. The following three images were taken around our home.

Top image: Street view with our house on the left.


View along the side of our property. About four large branches were broken from the large spruce tree on the right. I planted that tree some 35 years ago.


View of our backyard taken through the kitchen window.

The initial thought of beauty and winter wonderland well documented.

Wonderful winter shots, Hank. There's been a lot of winter this year.

That's a lot of snow. I'm glad it's not here.

It is very pretty. Such a shame about the broken branches on the Spruce you planted. Hope it will be ok. The only good thing about snow this time of year is it usually doesn't last too long. What a shock after Saint Lucia!

Should have stayed in Saint Lucia, Hank! A real bummer to come home to this.

Fabulous shots of a winter wonderland. I love the way everything looks right after a snowstorm (such as yesterdays).
