Sun on Snow


This morning, despite the very low temperature (-14C at dawn) the sun was shining and everything looked brighter!



There were icicles fringing the roof this morning and they grew during the day..


Some were ridiculously long and had to be dodged.


At the end of the day one of the conifers had created its own decorations..


Probably our greatest surprise of the day was when we saw from the kitchen window a little movement under the snow - a good distance away - and a little chipmunk popped up to survey his changed surroundings..



We feared for his safety as he was rather prominent in the white landscape and we had seen the hawk again at his lookout in the trees.

  1. Please be careful that you don't get stabbed by any falling icicles. It could be very messy. Has that little chipmunk been trying to hibernate in the middle of your garden under all that snow?
