Eliza Waters 
Looks so soft and fluffy!
It was a nice light snow, easy to move, thankfully. 🙂
This image is pretty in terms of shape and colour.
Thank you, Anne!
Perfect ⛄️
Thanks, Karen! 🙂

Gorgeous
Merci, Sheree!
De rien Eliza
Stunning Eliza.
Thank you, Cindy. x
Simply gorgeous Eliza. You have a way with the camera
Aw, thanks, Dee! 🙂
Beautiful winter shot!
Thank you, Judy!
New snow is so pretty! Lovely shot, Eliza!
Thank you, Barbara! We got 6″ this time, quite pretty. 🙂
Your mountain laurel is so different from ours, I never would have guessed the plant. The colors are an interesting variation on holiday red and green.
Thank you, Linda. One of our lovely natives that form colonies on the edge of acidic woods, gorgeous when in bloom in June… like drifts of pink/white snow.
I come from the state that has Mountain Laural as the state flower and thought Texas Mountain Laural was the different one. First of all, where were the mountains? But all I had to do is smell the Texas one and I was hooked. Unfortunately, it is hard to grow in this wet part of the state.
I see yours is a legume, which accounts for its perfume and prefers dry, alkaline soils. Kalmia latifolia I believe is the only species in the genus, in the heath family, known for being acid-loving. Very different plants… common names can be rather misleading!
Yes, common names are confusing. I often wonder what people were thinking when then named them.
Missing home, perhaps? 😉
Could be.
the contrast is stunning
Thank you, Karen. x
So pretty. I love the powdery snow, laden gently along those leaves. Lovely capture, Eliza!
Thank you, Tina!
Beautiful, Eliza. 😊
Thank you, Pepper. 🙂
Quite beautiful. But sorry to hear you have new snow. We’re down to freezing at night here in France but we have sunny days in forecast – and no snow!
MJ
Thank you, MJ. A cold week ahead, but warmer days are coming, slowly but surely.
A lovely contrast of colours Eliza.
Thank you, Andrea. ❤
Looks like an outdoor boutonnière…..I’m imagining the beautiful flowers.
Thank you, Alice. They are such a pretty flower… I love seeing them in the woods.
We have one on the corner of the house.
Always so pretty after a new snow, especially when there is red against white.
Thank you, Laurie. One of our great native plants.
Pretty, glad it was a light snow for you!
Thank you, Donna. Yes, much easier to shovel! 😉
Lovely shot! Hoping the snow ends here in a couple weeks. It was a long ❄️ snowy cold winter ❄️ Ready for Springtime🙌🏻🌱🪴
Thank you, Susan! I think most of us are ready for spring weather. But we have to go through mud season first, ha!
Reminds me of home.
Nice… we got about 6″ of the fluffy stuff on Friday. I love seeing it in the trees.
This is just lovely, Eliza.
Thank you, Dale. Fresh snow is so pretty. 🙂
It’s falling in what they are calling a squall, right now. Again. I must say I am rather glad I do not have to go out there right now!
It is pretty and best viewed from a warm, cozy house. 🙂 We have to remind ourselves that we still have March to go through, when traditionally, we can get a few big storms.
Exactly! The biggest storms usually occur in March so I am not deluding myself 😉
A beautiful capture of the fresh snow Eliza 💛
Thank you, Xenia! x
New fresh snow 🙂 Beautiful and clean. Great photo Eliza!
Thank you, Maria!
Pretty photo but I hope the snow doesn’t overstay its welcome!
Thanks, Kris. We tend to get more storms in late Feb./March, but the days are warm and so the snow melts off fairly quickly.
My gracious, Eliza, this looks like fur!! I hope it sticks around if you like snow … or melts fast if you’re as tired of it as I am!!
Thank you, Debbie. The days are warm, so it’ll probably melt quickly. 🙂
Things were melting here today, even though it barely rose above freezing. The sun knows March is coming 😉
Yes, the sun’s warmth made the day much more tolerable here. A month more and we should be past the worst of it. 🙂
So pretty!
Thank you, Belinda. March may bring a few more storms, but at least the days are warmer and longer. We’re getting there!
Another cold snap here. But the days are longer and the sun is warmer too.
Simply superb! And, as always, drawn by your header!
Thank you, Cathy! Glad you like the header… I’ll be changing it soon to reflect the current season of maple sugaring time. Stay tuned. 😉
I don’t expect to see that much red in conjunction with snow.
More a rusty-red, I suppose; true red here is only present in Ilex berries and northern cardinals. 🙂
Beautiful shot. I take it you got the latest wintry blast.
Yes, about 6″… though the days are pretty cold since, the sun is melting it on the edges. A few warm days, and it’ll be gone. 🙂
A perfect winter scene of red and white!
Thank you, Donna!
So lovely. There’s magic there.
Thank you, Nailah. New snow does have a magical effect on a woodland. ❤
It does!
Looks so enticing, Eliza. I want to grab a spoonful. 😋
🙂 I’ll take fluffy over icy, any day!
The seed heads, if that’s what they are, look beautiful against the snow.
Thank you, Brian. Yes, those are seed heads, which will break open in the spring.
Nice! I’ve been looking at the remaining dried flower heads of our sedums and thinking of just this sort of shot. But I didn’t make one so have to enjoy yours and wish I had done mine. It’s a beautiful shot, Eliza. 🙂
Thank you, Steve. I bet there will be a chance yet to take your photo. 😉
Stunning!
Thank you, Jen! Hope you are doing well. 🙂
You also!
Beautiful photo, Eliza. A new snow on a garden is an opportunity to view beauty, and you created some magic with this one.
Thanks much. I do love the look of fresh snow on tree branches and evergreens. So pretty.
Laurel is one of my fave plants.It looks beautiful in four seasons!
It does! Its blooms are lovely and best of all, the deer leave it alone. 🙂
So artful – done by nature and then captured by you and your camera!
Thank you, Carol. Snow always adds a lovely touch. 🙂
Nice find and capture! We had Mountain Laurel on our property in South Jersey and I actually grew up in a town called Mount Laurel.
Thanks, Denise! The famous pine barrens indicate acidic soil, so I’m not surprised there were lots of laurels.
