Snow at the Arboretum

It's March 1 tomorrow and we had our deepest snow of the season today. Plus, it's going to get down to 4 degrees tonight. That temperature brings terror to my heart since I had upstairs pipes freeze, break and demolish my kitchen the day after I returned from Phoenix in January. The kitchen is still open to the rafters, so I hope the heat keeps the pipes toasty warm tonight.

Today was a great day to get out to the Arboretum with a camera in hand. It was the perfect snow - the streets were clear since it has been so warm but the snow was deep enough to cover the grass. My niece joined us and I've attached some of my photos and hers. Enjoy!

This is a photo of my niece. It was blowing snow for most of our visit. And, as you can see it was COLD.














The below photos are my niece's - pretty nice for a 14 year old!!



This is a self portrait my niece took of herself.



One of her favorites - more of a stealth self-portrait.





You can see the snow blowing in the two photos above.



A nice abstract - she has a great eye for composition





Strange weather - frigid today and in the 60's and 70's later this week.
