Nature's Glitter


GLITTER ~ A sparkling or glistening light; showy, often superficial attractiveness; small pieces of reflective decorative material; to sparkle brilliantly; glisten
.



Mother Nature certainly covered the many meanings of the word 'glitter' in a big way yesterday.
Spring is on hold for a few more days ~ it's very cold. Hope you enjoy more images from my garden, front porch and back deck. These will certainly be the last for this Winter.

FYI
~ Do stop by tomorrow.................at long last, a preview of the dining room chair painting project!

Morning Wonder

The view from an upstairs window over my neighbor's rooftop at sunrise this morning was unusual, but not unexpected. We were told perhaps up to 5" of snow in the night, fortunately there's just an inch or so.......and it is beautiful. This is the South just prior to Spring! Three days ago I was admiring gardens full of daffodils gently blowing in a warm breeze, a magnificent tulip poplar just bursting at the seams as its dusty rose tinted blooms opened, and everywhere buds tinged with that new Spring green which is so lovely. Then the rains came and now the snow. Rain doesn't make pretty garden pictures, but snow, that's another story.

So please take a short walk around my garden this morning ~ enjoy the quiet beauty of Southern snow.
