A few days ago we awoke to a winter
wonderland after an overnight snow put four or five inches of wet snow
everywhere. Although it looked like the low gray clouds wouldn’t clear anytime soon,
the snow-covered trees at the house gave me a good reason to head into the Big
Woods.
It was a monochromatic world, seeming to be
nothing but black and white –
The buckthorn was pretty with its
blue-black fruits holding a clump of snow –
But there actually was some color to be
seen as a small flock of over-wintering robins gleaned the red fruit from a
wide-spreading multiflora rose –
As this is being written a snowstorm is
moving up the east coast, but we’re only getting another four or five inches. It’s
just about mid-winter now and there’s less snow on the ground than usual, some
of us miss the deep snows of 40 years ago.

I agree that a deep snow is nicer than a few inches. I love your winter wonderland!
What lovely peaceful shots. I do love a deep snow!
This is how it is here with me, too. A special black/white landscape. Lovely Robin :-)
Love the path through the trees! Everything looks peaceful and beautiful...poor robin, he must be a bit chilly! I bet he's one creature glad that there are only a few inches of snow--he must have missed the memo to go south!
Great shot of the Robin! We are expecting more rain/ice/snow tomorrow into Monday.. Stay warm and safe! Thanks for linking up and sharing your post.. Have a happy weekend!
Your photos are just wonderful! It may be cold, but ice and snow do make for great photos. That robin in the midst of it all is just incredible!!
I so really enjoy Winter snow scenes and this photo with the robin is just gorgeous.
What beautiful scenes to wake up too. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful shot of the robin.
And here I thought robins went far enough south to completely avoid snow all winter! They don't come here in Ontario until springtime. I guess now I won't feel so worried for them when they are caught in late spring snows. Your snowy forest shots are beautiful.
