More Snow Overnight

                                       

We got about 3 inches of light snow overnight.  It was a light snow so it remained on the tops of all the branches because, fortunately, there was little to no wind.  This first photograph was taken from the upstairs bathroom window.  And I carefully positioned the camera so that I got the sun shining through the tree giving us a starlight effect.

                                       

I went outside to clean the driveway before breakfast with a shovel, and to get the newspaper at the end of the driveway.  But then I kept seeing photographs all around me.  I like this a lot because it is beautiful and interesting and is not a landscape photograph.  I love seeing this blue vase sitting on the glass picnic table, and you should know I epoxied a 2" diameter round wooden piece to the bottom of the vase, so the vase could never be blown off the top of the table.  The wood piece goes in the hole in the top of the table used for the giant umbrella over the picnic table.

                  

And last, but not least is this photograph of the famous tree, but this time photographed from the side, when I was standing on the front porch.  If I stand on the porch then the higher angle lets the tree block part of the neighbor's house and any view of the street. making for a "cleaner" image without distractions.  Don't forget to click on each of these. They are spectacular seen larger.
