See the Duck?

 These photos were taken on February 17th.
I was kind of hoping this would be our last significant snowy weather for this year.  But, we've had more snow, and an ice storm since these were taken.  Plus there's more wintery weather coming tonight and tomorrow. 

I took these photos without setting foot outside!
The first one is through a window and a screen...love the sky in this shot. 



The next seven photos are taken from an upstairs bedroom.  
No screen...and the window was pretty clean!


The ice covered pool...the steps down to the deck...and snow covered rocks 
holding the pool cover in place!


The pool photos were taken in the morning.  
Later in the day the snow started falling. 
Big Fat Flakes!


Can't believe we left all that patio furniture sitting out!
I have a feeling that the snow and cold have not been nice to those chairs.

 


Here's the other side of our yard.  Picnic table ready and waiting!
Still snowing!!


Now a peek out of the opened patio door. Love my newish pergola!


"Take Time to Pray!"
(for the snow to stop....)


This is a look out of the opened laundry room door.  This level of the house is half below grade...hence the (snow covered) steps up.  This area, including the pathway to the back gate, is the very last place to see a shovel when it snows.  Actually it seldom sees a shovel...we just let nature take care of the snow back here.


See the duck?
It reminds me of  a little word game a friend shared with 
me twenty five plus years ago. 


First comment that translates the word game down below wins a prize!  I don't know what prize....but I'll come up with something good!!

Snow

It was a snowy day today!
BIG! FAT! FLUFFY! FLAKES!
It's the best kind of snow.  I love how it coats the branches of trees, 
and I really love how it looks on the berry bush in my back yard.


I decided that I needed some up close photos of this pretty bush, so into the yard I went.  The snow was coming down fast, and was a couple of inches deep.  I tiptoed through the yard (really need to buy some boots) with my umbrella (had to keep the camera dry), and got some nice photos.  Love the red, green, and white together!




The snow was so soft and fluffy!




Even the naked branches that used to be covered in bright berries 
look beautiful covered in fluffy snow!


Lots of little birds (a Sparrow, I think) hung out by this bush.  
They love the red berries as much as I do!


Besides being fat and fluffy...the snow was perfect packing for snowballs.  
I know because I packed several of them!
See!



Hope you get to play in the snow a little too!!

Green

“Wherever you go,
no matter what the weather,
always bring your own
SUNSHINE.”

Spent a little time looking through photo files on my laptop.
I really don't mind Winter...but sometimes you just need to see a little bit of GREEN!
