Eliza Waters 
Perfectly beautiful! I love how the light is shining through.
Thank you, Deb! The sun makes everything sparkle.
Oh, snow for Christmas. How nice!
It does put one in the Christmasy mood. I bet the retailers love it. 😉 I wonder if it will stay, the ground hasn’t really frozen solid yet. We always hope for a white Christmas, but it doesn’t always happen. Maybe this year?
Stunningly beautiful Eliza! 🙂 ❤
Thank you, Natalie!
You’re most welcome❣️😘
Exquisitely beautiful, Eliza!
Thank you kindly!
Okay; TWO things that I am not familiar with. Snow? and, is that hemlock?
oh duh, it says right there, Canadian hemlock.
🙂
You know, that is a tree I never saw in real life. The only ones I have ever seen are bonsai specimens, which really do not exemplify the species. I hear that they can be hedged like redwoods, but I would hate to do that to a tree with such potential. They certainly are pretty and grand in pictures.
It is the only evergreen that grows well in the shade. It is a common hedge here (I have one bordering my yard and the road, which is shady). The sad news is that Wooly Adelgid (an invasive sucking insect from Japan, similar to mealy bug) is devastating huge tracts of forest here, like the bark beetles in the Rockies. We use Neem on the hedge, but for large trees, there is little one can do to stop the infestation. Extreme cold will knock them down a bit, but we don’t get the cold we used to. It is an important timber tree… like ash, elm and chestnut before them, they are declining.
Oh yes, I read about that.
Oh, so so beautiful! ❄️💖❄️💖❄️💖❄️
Thank you, Trini!
Very good detail and fantastic lighting make for a very nice winter photo.
Thank you very much, David.
Eliza: your photos are a great delight! Hemlocks hold the snow well, with their small needles. We got our first ⛄️☃️ snow…….and thankfully just got power back on after a 1 1/2 hour outage…..it was so dark!
Thank you, Alice. It was a heavy snow, so a branch must have fallen on the lines. Good thing there was no wind with this one, or it could have been much worse, eh?
Beautiful capture Eliza ☃🌿
Thank you, Karen. 🙂
Reblogged this on anita dawes and jaye marie.
Thank you for reblogging!
That is one stunning photgraph!
Thank you very much! 🙂
Its so beautiful…
Thank you!
LOVE the composition, Eliza!! This is stunning!! Thank you! 🤗
Thank you very much, Amy!
Ah yes …. beautiful capture Eliza 💛
Thank you, Val. 🙂
OH My, Snow! Snow in the photograph and snow cascading in the webpage. How do you do this/ So mesmerizing 🙂
Thank you. You can turn on the snow feature under Settings on your My Sites page. 😉
The sun illuminates the scene beautifully!
Thank you, Belinda. Backlighting in nature highlights her beauty so well.
Now I have a much better idea of what a hemlock is. Thank you for another lovely image!
My pleasure…Thank you!
What a shot!
Thank you, Laurie!

Thank you for reblogging!
No one decorates better than Mother Nature!
I agree! Thanks, Kris!
I have noticed lots of snowy photos in blog posts today! This is beautiful.
Thank you, Karina. A huge storm stretched the entire East Coast yesterday. Most unusual for the South that rarely sees snow. We had about 4″ here and my sister in Georgia got nearly 9″ – opposites! I here the UK got a fair amount, too. Snow for Christmas!
Snow? Is that snow I see before me? … Yaaaaaay! .. **runs around waving arms like Kermit** 😀
The whole East Coast got blanketed, even down South. A huge storm to set the tone for Christmas. 🙂
Gorgeous, Eliza. ❤
Thank you, Robin! 🙂
Wonderfully creative shot, Eliza!
Thank you, Hien!
Beautiful!🙂
Thank you!
I love the snows when they lay on the evergreens….and everything else too, like this snow did. Your picture is amazing! We only got about an inch here in TN, but it was absolutely beautiful!
It makes everything look so clean and bright, doesn’t it? And the air seems fresher, too!
Yes it does!
Nice! Here in FL we’re getting temperature in the 50’s although it’s from a cold front.
Thank you, Maria. 50s is cold for Floridians!
Sparkly like you Eliza!
Aw, thanks, Kathy! Holiday greetings to you!
Wow, nIce composition, the backlighting and narrow depth of field makes the subject pop!
Thank you very much!
Oh, this is absolutely gorgeous, Eliza!
Thank you, Dina!
Exquisite.
Thank you!
