On April 15, snowflakes (called Christmas flakes because they were large and invoked a bit of cheer) nearly obscured the neighbours’ large pine tree.

Overlooked
I had overlooked this photo of snow perched on a narrow maple twig.
Remains
Although the snow is long gone, the memory remains of coming across these spoor recently left by a fox remains.
Streaks
Snow streaks the air in front of a field lined with trees.
Forlorn.
A forlorn sunflower stalk, its flower heads long since picked bare by goldfinches, endures a late winter snowfall.
Acquired
A twig of our Silver Maple acquired a topping of heavy, wet snow during a recent snowfall.
Up
Looking up gives one a different perspective on a heavy snowfall.
Getting ready
Several weather models, the US National Weather Service, and Environment Canada all suggest a significant snowstorm will occur tomorrow. My interpretation is that between 12-20 cm (or about 4 to 8 inches) will fall starting tonight and ending Friday afternoon.
So I spent some time the last two afternoons clearing the deck and scraping the driveway/street interface – making space for more snow.
Starry night . . .
. . . no, actually not. I pointed my camera up and captured these falling snowflakes illuminated by parking lot lighting.
Back on Thursday.
Begs
The calendar reports that spring began 17 days ago.
Winter begs to differ.
