Snow in the Garden

Surprisingly, our “snow event” has been sticking around. It’s snowing like crazy right now and isn’t supposed to warm up until tomorrow. I guess that means the kids are getting a whole week off from school. Lucky them.

I took a walk to meet a new friend for coffee (Hi Wyly!) and get some groceries. Along the way I found a few photo opportunities. It’s so different shooting in the snow. The light is flat, diffused, and soft. The lack of contrast makes it difficult to get good shots. But then, without the snow, there wouldn’t be any.
