Hallelujah! The snow has stopped falling. Our muscles are sore from all the shoveling over the past several days, and now I can rest in the beauty of this cotoneaster.
By the time I finished my shoveling shift yesterday I was exhausted, but couldn’t resist getting the camera and tromping around the front yard to take photos. The leaves and berries of the various shrubs were so vibrant against the snow, like a gorgeous collision of seasons. In fact, the burning bush was almost blindingly bright.
And now the melting begins . . .


The burning bush is so bright with the contrast of the snow. Magnificent.

I’m glad the contrast resonated with you. It really felt magical to see those colors against the snowy backdrop.

HA! Jealous…or maybe not. We’ve got sunshine today and temps in the 50s which is forecast for much of the week. I love post-storm days because the air is clean and the sky is so darned blue. Hope you’re having a lovely day, too, Mara.
