We only have some patches of snow

left from last weekend's snowstorm...

but here are a few more photos taken of this snowy event.

My Garden - Snow Covered

 

These photos were taken of my garden a few days ago

after the weekend snowstorm...

(..don't these three bears look

a little puzzled with this white stuff...)

 

...before all the snow began to melt...

 

...and when the wind carvings were still visible...

 

...and the perennials created an interesting pattern

against the snow.

 

Today we had a high of 12 C. and a lot of green

patches of lawn are

showing their faces.  

 

Thank you for visiting!

A Good Reason to...

 

With all the wind and snow...

I'm not sure how

he is going to get out of his driveway...

 

...Maybe a good reason to just stay home.  : )

Winter Storm

 

It has definitely been wintry here

the last few days...

 

We don't often have snow here

as we are so close to the coast...

 

...but the snow and wind is making up for it today.

Notice the pink blossoms of the winter blooming

 Pink Dawn Virburnum!  :  )

Snowy Trails

 

We are having a snowy day today...

and the snow became deeper and deeper

as we gained elevation...

 

What a wonderful day to be outside

on the trails!

Mountain Snow

 

The Church of the Holy Redeemer, built in 1897 to 1902,

as viewed from Fort Langley,

against the backdrop of the Golden Ears Mountains,

covered with the thick layer of fresh snow

that has fallen in the last few days.

The skiers are happy!

Trail Run Before the Rain

 

Had a wonderful group trail run this morning...

and although the trails were muddy

and in some spots icy,

we could enjoy the beauty of God's creation.

We are forecast to have heavy rain and wind

this afternoon and evening...

a great time to curl up in a chair

with a good book.  :  )

(No, that's not me in the photo : )

Icy and.. .Warm

 

Yesterday we had the transition

between the cold and dry spell we had last week

and the warm and wet weather that was predicted for this week,

so we had a little snow and some freezing rain.

 

Freezing rains can be so dangerous for drivers but

it adds an ethereal beauty to this Cedar tree.

Today we are back to 9 C. so the ice has melted away.

 

Here the icicles are hanging from the railing.

Thank you for visiting!

Dusty Outflow Winds

 

Today the artic outflow winds

are bringing cold, dry air

to the valley below...

 

...and creating a bit of a dust storm...

 

...in the open fields.

 

Thank you for visiting my blog and stay warm!

Mountain Snow

 

We are back to winter.....

 

and a couple of days ago
the snow is creeping down the mountainside,

although we are snow free in the valley below. 

(These pictures were taken with my point and shoot

and quality is definitely lacking.)
