This post may be unpopular among many friends (and with my wife) but it is true: I love snow! Of course I also love Spring and flowers and warm winds and rain. The bare simplicity of winter, the stunning backdrop that snow provides in the landscape and the patterns on snow all amaze me.
Shadows of an apple tree on new snow.
Wind-blown patterns on snow are endless in their variety.
Last year’s leaves of American Beech often hang well into spring, creating shadow art like this.
So…before it is all gone—and it is going fast here in Central Vermont—I wanted to share these few more photographs of snow made two weeks ago while I was out on snow shoes with my hiking pals.

You remind me of this quotation: “Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.”
John Ruskin

Oh THANKS! You are a dear to be able to connect the dots like you do—regardless of the weather!
