It's official, everyone...Portland has its first snow of the winter!

I woke up this morning and gazed excitedly out at the snow lazily swirling down from the sky.

Yes, it's just a dusting, don't laugh...that's usually all we can expect here in Portland, sadly...unless we get lucky!

Still, even this thin layer of snow transforms the garden somehow.

Nothing sets off the dark shapes of various seed heads like a crisp white blanket of the white stuff.

How about all of you out there...have you had any snow yet? Stay warm, I hope you're enjoying winter as much as I am!
I look older entries ... This unidentified insect on M. Cappilaris is probably Tipula oleracea - insect considered a pest ...

ReplyDeleteScott your place looks great. Some plants I was uncertain of look great here, like Verbascum and there are others I had never heard of before. Great shots.
