It takes one overnight Alberta Clipper, and we’ve got chaos. School cancelled, cars in ditches, snowblowers blasting away. In the garden, though, nothing but peace.
A half-hearted effort to protect new shrubs. I really have to do something about this!
Sunshine on fresh snow is one of those miracles of nature, not to mention the striking shadows that create natural abstract paintings.
River birch (Betula nigra) and spruce provide a beautiful frame for the sparkling blue sky.
This simple tree branch star looks so pretty in a nature theme holiday setting, and you can’t beat the price!
Sorry for the blur, my shaking was getting the best of me, but these stars are some of my favorite Christmas lights.
Enjoy this inspiring season, even if you are on the inside looking out! For more garden photos from around the globe, visit The Propagator Six on Saturday.

Thank you! Sunshine makes the winter easier ?
We’ve had 2 snows so far, both light. I keep moving further & further south to escape the snow, but it keeps following me!
Love the snow pics! River birch is one of my favs
Such lovely winterscapes you have captured! Love the abstract of the shadows on the snow. Stay warm!
I like “hip hop,” maybe you’ve just started a trend for 2018!
Hip hop? Hip hop? TIP TOP!
That birch bark is fantastic! Photos hip-hop as always. See you soon.
Thank you! We will have snow off and on, but it’s actually supposed to melt this week, with temps above freezing. We have a white Christmas only about 50% of the time. How about you?
What beautifully wintery photos. The shadows on the snow are great, as well as the deer. They are a boon & a bane, aren’t they? Pretty hard to out maneuver. Will snow be the norm from now until spring for you?
