The snow seems to emphasize all the textures...

 
..in my winter garden...

 
...and gave this little bird a new winter coat.

Layers

 
Woke up this morning to a view...

 
...of clouds above us,
and a solid bank of fog
 in the valley below us.
(There was  a rainbow above the mountain, 
but it is hard to see in the above photo)

Golden Glow

 
The setting sun fleetingly highlights
the barren trees...

 
..with a golden glow.
Of course I had to dash out
with my camera to snap a shot.

My Garden - Winter

 
The lovely yellow of Winter Jasmine,
capped by delicate snowflakes,
adds winter interest to my garden.
This shrub blooms from November to March each winter.
 
 
Snow covered Sedum
adds interesting texture.

Snowflakes

 
On Monday it snowed....
...we usually have rain...

 
...such delicate and intricate patterns
in each snowflake,
fluffy and white.

Snow Covered

 
With the clear wintry weather we have been having,
the surrounding mountain views
never fail to draw our eyes, 
 always appearing to have a greater presence
when they are snow covered.

Artic Outflow

 
We have been pummeled
 by Artic outflow winds the last few days...

 
...and here the soil is being swept up...

 
...against the setting sun.

The Powerful Falls

Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada
 
The Niagara Falls, ...

 
...powerful even on a dark and dreary winter day...

 
...with all the vegetation encrusted in ice...

 
...and clouds of mist.
 
The most powerful waterfall
in North America, the Niagara River falls 185 feet.

An Elevated View

 
A wonderful bird's eye view
 of Mt. Baker...

 
...towering above
all the other mountains.
Mt. baker, at 10,781 ft., is
one of the snowiest places in the world.
