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.
Grasses and snow
A good day
Some folks may describe this image as depicting a gloomy day. To me it was good to be able to take this photo, know the palpable difference between today’s temperature, -1, and last Wednesday’s temperature of -10 with a stiff wind blowing, to have made it another year. It was and is a good day.
Austere beauty
Winters’ austere beauty has arrived – perhaps a little early by the calendar, at the right time for the season. Even during a -8 afternoon there is something to admire. Here it was the delicate shadings of grey, green, and off white.
Rosy
Dawn sunlight gives a chunk of snow a pale, rosy glow.
