    There is life underground. Enjoy a good Sunday

    That’s a lot of wind blown bits and bobs on the snow. Not as much here.

    You have a wonderful gift in seeing Nature’s Art. So many of your photographs capture what could be so easily missed. Your photography reminds of that Saint they called “The Little Flower.” Really a talent and a gift. The wind creating a tapestry on the surface of snow. It is both small and big at the same time and that is what have an eye for.

    It is wonderful how much you manage to convey in these two simple photographs!

    What a great picture of the still-attached oak leaves so perfectly framed by a tree’s shadow. Those twig-snapping winds must have been something else.

    Oh, those oak leaves. Beautifully captured and composed, Eliza. ♥

    There is nothing like snow.

    Better a scattering of pine needles than a scattering of fallen trees!

    Winds were gone since yesterday and I can do my daily walks again. Now we need rain to come and sweep away those salts left over by the township trucks,

    Mother Nature trimming, again. Oak leaves & their shadows is a nice composition.

    Oak leaves are one of my favorite fall colors! Love the contrast with the snow and shadow.

    Whew! Hope the winds calm down. We have seen trees take quite a tough hit from winds this winter.

    I love the vibrant leaves in the snow Eliza. Today strong winds and sleet have swept in here, though they aren’t expected to last.

    We too have gusty winds here now.

    Birdie me, I first thought I saw a trail feathers. Glad not so, whew. 😉

    The colour of the leaves against the snow is so pretty! It seems that winter caught up with all of us this month. 😏

    The scattered pine needles and branches are a familiar sign, though the winds here weren’t as strong. The backlit oak leaves image is lovely.

    I’m not a fan of big winds, but I am a fan of your lovely photos, Eliza — well captured! I hope you didn’t have ice on the power lines and were able to keep the electricity on.

      Thank you, Debbie. Our issue is mostly older trees falling on power lines. We did have a half dozen flickerings off and on, but overall power stayed on, thankfully.

    I see the wind knocked a lot of pine needles out of the trees, as well as reluctant autumn oak leaves!

    Pines are litterbugs. Have a good week Eliza.

    Is it warm and windy? Or still cold?
