Inspired by all my Southern friends who seem soenthralled with their snow, I decided to take a stroll around theyard to capture some of the winter beauty that I, as a Northerner, have simply not noticed. Rather than just endure winter and wish it away, I'm trying to embrace its beauty in all its splendor. Here are a few pics to share from our storm today.~First are my urns that set on each side of my garagestill displaying their Christmas greenery.
The pyracantha bush is still sporting its orange fall berries.
Grape vines fallen in the snow.
Evergreen boughs bending low.
My neighbor's new garden shed.
Rose hips ~ so pretty in red.
"Finding Fabulousness in the Simplest Places" whereyou can view her winter photos and a video tutorialon how to apply textures to your pictures in Photoshop.She was the inspiration for my post today and mymost pleasant surprise of not only seeing winter's splendorwith new eyes, but also learning new techniquesin processing my photos ~ a double blessing.~Now it's time to get back to reality, get out thesnow blower, and deal with all the snow in the driveway.~Be sure to check out my "Thank You Giveaway" HERE ~Linking with

I'm smiling, because you probably get to see snow each Winter and lots of it, and 'we' Southerners are not guaranteed it's magical delight :)
Love your pictures around the garden, and you do indeed have lots of it.
Right now it's snowing once again here....;D
Great pictures,Have a good evening.
Very pretty Cindy! I enjoyed your wintery outdoor photos. I am joining you from Outdoor Wednesday too! Hope you are staying warm and cozy!
Your pictures are lovely, I love the rose hip picture.
We got a little snow today also
So pretty
Blessings

Oh such beautiful pictures. Snow can be very beautiful but come April, I'm so tired of it. Up in the mountains where I lived for 15 years, we had snow until June.
come visit

You captured your winter wonderland perfectly!! Us Northerners are rather lucky if you don't mind shoveling once in awhile! Stop by my blog if you get a chance ~ I'm having a giveaway!! Junkinjulie.blogspot.com
Your wintery, snowy pictures are beautiful. Your urns covered in snow make such a beautiful picture. I haven't gotten out to get many snowy pictures here yet. But no need to hurry. Our snows stay for a looong time. Too long, as far as I am concerned. lol!

I never thought I'd get bored of snow and I never have before but this year I did. We had snow for about three weeks in England and at the end I was so bored with the wetness and dirt coming into the house.

Winter photos are some of my favorites...they are so tranquil and serene. I think your first pic looks like a Christmas card. Beautiful!

Those are lovely photos! Each season has things we can appreciate. (Even our least favorite ones!) It certainly has been an unusual year for the South, tho. Bess
Being a skier, I love the wonderful snow and lots of it though must admit, snowblowing is NOT something I enjoy. It was fun to see your snowy pics!

Love how your urns look covered in snow.

PS Thanks for being a part of Seasonal Sundays.
I know this made sound weird but I love winter. I love how the snow looks on top of houses and trees.
