The winds scoured the snow, leaving sculptured ridges around downed branches. In some places, we had bare ground; in others, a foot or more of snow. In terms of snowfall, that's not impressive for New England. It was the winds that were unusual. Our basketball hoop, set in cement, was snapped off near the base & blown over.
Planning a funeral for your basketball hoop?? That happened to us in last year's blizzard! I love the simplicity of this shot...the lines lead us in to that very cold branch!! Hope you recover soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope that is not the top of a 50-foot tree...
ReplyDeleteWinter weather is crazy! Hope it at least earned you a snow day at home?
Totally stark and totally the way I remember winter from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I call aBlowHard Blizzard.

A good example of the power and creativity of Mother Nature. I'd still rather have snow blizzards than hurricaines with water that gets in everywhere! Super photo!
ReplyDeleteLeaves me with a feeling of loneliness.

I love the texture and starkness of this photo!
ReplyDeleteA cold, white, desert...a very lonely scene!
ReplyDeleteReally like the texture in the snow. The wind was absolutely incredible. It literally howled for 2 days plus.
ReplyDeleteCould be a sand dune, the starkness is perfect for the feel of wind and snow and cold.
