Eliza Waters 
Very nice! All three.
Thank you, David. Makes it easy to wait for spring.
A light dusting of snow is magical. Lovely!
Thank you, only a couple inches and we’re happy!
Beautiful🤩
Thank you, Karen. Just enough to brighten the landscape. 💙
The trees wear the snow so well!
My favorite part of it all… all those branches etched in white. ❄️💙 Thanks, Audrey!
Perfect title for these images, Eliza. They truly are enchanting.
Thank you, Dale. You know how it is, you open the blinds in the morning and gasp, “Ohhh!” 🙂
That’s what I did this morning. I went oooohhh… stepped outside and went GAH! The sun is such a liar! It brought no heat! 😉
Ha! Yes, one must rely on the thermometer and check the trees for wind to know the real truth!
No kidding! Brrr
🥶
Your photos look like mythical scenes from a fairyland, Eliza. So beautiful. ❤
Thank you, Joanne. I love a fresh snowfall, the world is so beautiful. This was Friday morning and it had melted off by the end of day.
While these scenes look beautiful to me, I can’t help imagining the cold that goes with it!
Thanks, Anne. If one has warm clothing and boots, it isn’t all that bad. It is lovely to walk through the woods after a new snow fall. I actually enjoy winter for its crisp air! But of course, I have a warm house and cuppa to return to. 😉
Absolutely lovely! I saw snow falling for the first time when I was 18 years old, and I couldn’t get over how silent it was… and beautiful!
Thank you! It is pretty magical. I love the contrast of the white lining all the dark branches, so beautiful. And it deadens sound so peacefully, less cars on the road, too. 🙂
I hadn’t thought of having less cars on the road, that is a bonus!
Definitely! 😀
Enchanting, indeed – all three
Thank you, Derrick… a lovely morning it was this past Friday.
Hi Eliza. A fairytale land indeed. Unfortunately we have brought the British weather back to France, rain and gales. But I am sitting in bed with a cup of tea on a lazy Sunday morning watching the fire – what’s not to like!
MJ
Sounds nice and cozy. As long as one is warm and dry, one can wait it out. 🙂
Wonderful snowy landscapes.
Thank you, I love when everything is blanketed in fresh snow.
Winter wonderland 🙂
It certainly was, beautiful to wake up to!
What a lovely view…and so private….can you see that from your plant room? Such a variety of trees and shrubs, and a spruce tree that looks maybe 6 years old.
Thank you, Alice. Views of the back and side yards, north and east (the sun room faces south). The small tree was actually our Christmas tree which we put out for the birds to use for cover. It’s losing its needles and will head to the compost soon. 🙂
An enchanting wonderland — I do miss the snow! Thanks for sharing these lovely scenes.
My pleasure to share… It was lovely to wake up to this on Friday.
Enjoy every moment.
I certainly do. I’ve grown to love winter!
Now that I am mostly retired I have too.
Yes, nice not having to drive in it if we don’t want to.
Amen!
So so beautiful!!!
Thank you!
Are these current photos? Unbelievable, and gorgeous.
Yes, this was Friday morning… a lovely wake-up. Thanks!
A beautiful winter wonderland! 💙
Thank you, Donna. Fresh snow is a lovely gift. 🙂
The last of the snow?
Probably not the last… we still have March to get through. But with the sun higher and the days warmer, most melts quickly. This was off the trees by the end of the day on Friday.
A beautiful wonderland.
Fresh snow is a lovely thing!
It’s always so beautiful even when you’re ready to move on to the next season. 😉
A beauty in white
Truly… thanks!
A winter wonderland! Sure doesn’t look that way here. Looks more like the beginning of April in central Maine.
Thanks, Laurie. This was last Friday, so yeah, we’re back to that ‘early spring’ look!
Very beautiful and enchanting, even though I long for spring now 🙂
With our shorter and milder winters, it hasn’t been so bad. Matter of fact, on some level I feel kind of cheated by not having had a ‘real’ winter… crazy, I know!
With the advent of ticks in our area in the past 10-20 years, I’ve come to dread spring as they emerge at around 45ºF. The diligence required to keep them off us and the dog is taxing. 😦
Lovely image – there are few things more striking than the woods after snowfall.
Thank you, Tom. It’s beauty never grows old.
There is something very cozy looking about the landscape covered in fresh snow. Lovely photos, Eliza!
Thank you, Belinda!
I love that look when there’s a heavy fog/mist and it freezes on all the branches 😀 … quite different just a snowfall. 😀
Winter can be quite beautiful! ❄️
Love the icy tracery!
Thank you, Amy. What I love best after a snow fall!
Your photos are enchanting, Eliza! I can feel the icy cold just looking at them…
Thank you, Kim. Luckily, I didn’t have to go outside to enjoy the view!
That’s what a late February day should look like! It’s sunny, windy, and 65 degrees here! 😦
I’m with you, I want normal winter weather. It has been cold for at least a week (changes back to above average temp tomorrow). I felt relieved to be having real winter weather, I get nervous when it is too warm!
Yes, it’s disconcerting to see all these changes to our normal patterns. The temperatures in the past week have been 15 to 20 degrees above the usual average.
The first week of March here the temps will not go below freezing for at least a week… this is unprecedented… and alarming. Very scary to me.
😦
When I see a clean white blanket of snow like this, I immediately think that, as it melts away, spring will deliver a fresh start. Whether that’s true or not I don’t know but I hope that’ll be the case!
Referred to as ‘poor man’s fertilizer’, some believe that there is trace nitrogen in it, but I don’t know how valid that is. I have read however, that all precipitation now has micro-plastics in it… now isn’t that a cheery thought?
The LA Times recently published an article indicating that microplastics are also in the air we breathe, Eliza. The scientists quoted in the article said they found microplastics in the first poops of newborn babies too!
Oh, gawd, not good news. 😨
Just enough to make the garden look magical, and not too much to become a nuisance. That is how I like snow! 😃
You betcha! 🙂
Beautiful images Eliza, it looks so peaceful 💙 xxx
Thank you, Xenia. I love the stillness that follows a snowfall.
Delightful and a wonderful sight.
Bet it’s cold though.
Thank you, Vicki. It is not too bad, I like a brisk walk!
A beautiful scene, Eliza!
Thank you, Tina!
What a beautiful enchanted wonderland Eliza.
Thank you, Jill. All the more so for its ephemeral nature. ❄️
Lovely!
Thank you, Diana!
Lovely to see winter again! It felt like winter today, but it still looks like spring.😎
Yeah, warm yesterday, pouring rain and windy. Today, wicked cold wind and snow flurries. Tomorrow sunny in the 40s. Go figure!
Your photos are so peaceful and beautiful. You got some really good snow!
Thank you, E. It is rapidly melting with these warm temps.
There will likely be more on the way in coming weeks- at least I hope so!
Time will tell. I just read last night that this winter (as of March 1) is the warmest on record, a cheery thought, eh?
Yet another in an already much too long list of warmest ever months. I can’t even remember when this streak of ‘warmest ever’ began- more than a year ago, for sure. ❤ ❤ ❤
A winter wonderland!
Truly, fresh snow makes everything beautiful!
