Goodbye to Winter - I Hope!

This photo was actually made on the second day of spring!
During our recent snow storm, besides our cherry tree going down, the rhododendron in our front yard was a little worse for wear.
Surprisingly, it still has blossoms on it and looks pretty.

Wow, that really is a bunch of heavy snow! Amazingly enough, that is probably more than we had in Ohio all Winter!

Amazing contrast between snow and blossom - not a sight seen very often, I venture.

Wonderful capture. So sad what Mother Nature will do. I had the same thing happen with the frost this week. lots of brown and burned edges on the blooms. :-( V

Just got to love the mixture of blooms and snow.

Wow. That is often what it looks like we get. By Sunday (April 1) it is predicted to be 87° here. It has been at or near 80° for the past week and predicted to stay the same for the next 7 days.

I hope too Vern. I couldn't believe how much snow you got. Your poor plants...

Looks good to me, here in Texas! We didn't get any white stuff in our area this year! Looks really pretty with the flowers underneath it.
