Winter's Last Farewell

By this time of year, there is nothing very special about snow ~ except it's beauty.  And since winter is making it's last farewell (I hope), she certainly did it in grand style and extravagance.  

Everything was iced with an extravagant layer of heavy wet snow, splitting bushes and bowing branches to the ground.  

 

  A neighbor's house across the street, with multiple lights on, giving it  a romantic glow in the early morning light.  

  Everything simple becomes exquisite dressed up in winter finery.

   Farewell winter ~ hello spring!
