SNOW

We got about 2 inches of wet snow last night. First we have had here for well over a year and the last snow was just enough to coat the ground. So of course I had to take photos last night in the dark and early this morning as I knew it would be melted off by this afternoon which it was.

April Snow

After all the fruit trees were blooming and the trees and plants were starting to put on their little green leaves Mother Nature decided to give us a spring surprise in the way of a snow in April. We had about 4 inches which covered the blossoms giving us a look at nature not seen very often. About 27 years ago we had snow on May 10th, Mother's Day and there was snow on my pink roses that were in full bloom. About 37 years ago when we lived in Silver City I remember it snowed on the tuplips and other flowers. Each time this has happened it is a heavy, wet snow that weigh down the plants but the sun comes out by noon and melts it all away. By 2 pm we had mud as seen in the last photo.

Black and White Photos

Decided that all this snow was right for taking some black and white photos. Sometimes I just prefer the old fashioned look.
