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.
