The ides of March

The first of March, and we get a beautiful snowfall. The snow was still coming down when I snapped this picture of a very peaceful park scene. One thing I love about snow is that it makes everything quiet and serene. Welcome, March.

First big snow

Look what we woke up to yesterday morning! About 6 inches of powdery white. So beautiful and so quiet, like a big blanket laid gently onto everything in sight.

More snow pictures

These pictures are from the same Christmas night snowfall. I just can't get over how beautiful the branches of the trees look with snow covering every inch.

Christmas snow

Snow started falling last night, just as we were finishing dinner. This is the scene we woke up to; it was still coming down this morning! Everything is so peaceful and quiet and lovely when it snows.

Immediately we refilled the bird feeders. At one point we had 3 bluebirds on this feeder at the same time, which is unusual because they are very territorial. But when it's this cold, I guess rules can be bent!

First snow

We had our first snow fall last night. It wasn't much, but it was enough to make a thin layer and in North Carolina, that's exciting! The white snow on the bare tree branches is really pretty. And the birds are already all over the bird feeder which I love to watch.
