Sunday Stills Challenge - - Landscape

Mother Nature contributed to this week's Sunday Stills Challenge by contributing lots of white stuff overnight. Snow was NOT in our forecast but the grand lady bestowed about 6 inches of the fluffy white stuff despite the protestations of the local weathermen.



All I can say is it's prettier than the mud it's currently covering but still just as big a pain in the neck. I didn't even get my last load of horses worked yesterday due to this beginnings of this storm. I was hoping to get them caught up today but the snow will have to melt much faster than it's current rate. In the meantime Delilah is loving the snow. She's pretty sure that this stuff was intended just for her pleasure.




These pictures are the view from different angles from my house. The poor little oak trees in the first pic don't know what to think about that much weight on their poor tender boughs.



With yesterday's landscape hidden the muddy banks of the creek have been disguised covered in this cold blanket of white. The trees and surrounding shrubs reach majestically towards the sky decked out in Mother Nature's finery. From the dismal ravages of a hard winter all have been transformed, like Cinderella now ready for her ball.



But just like in Cinderella's story the clock is ticking with temperatures predicted in the 50s. As the hands reach closer to noon the heat rises and the snow drips from the limbs. The process is slow and painful as the beauty gradually disappears into more wet pools and eventually even more mud. Just another of Mother Nature's tricks this wierd and wild spring.
