Winter Snowfall

It snowed a few inches last week, then yesterday it warmed up to 6 degrees Celsius with lot of rain. So all the snow melted.

This morning there was a light snowfall. Just enough to rest lightly on the branches in the garden. I makes the world seem like a fairyland.

This first picture shows (l-r): a dwarf Alberta Spruce, a Blue Fescue grass, and a dwarf Hemlock.

The second photo shows the painted tree (see the post of The August Garden)

As we drove to work, it seemed that the snow on the bigger trees along the road had started to come off. So it seemed that the snowiness was best at home.

Also saw a flock of crows in the field just over the hill. There were probably 40 crows that dispersed as we drove by. What was that all about? Don't think I've ever seen that many crows in one spot all at once.

Black & White Camouflage

Uncle Aubrey and his new bride Joy (see August's blog) moved into a new 2 bedroom apartment last week. One of the things that had to go was a rickety old metal table that was a bit beat up. It had black legs with white shelves.

I tightened up the bolts so it was sturdy and then put several coats of black spray paint on it. (I should have taken a before photo)

Then a touch of a silver marble spray paint to give it the marbling effect.

When I first printed the photos, I thought I had forgotten to set the printer to print in colour. Only when I looked closer, did I see the one green plant, and the green plants showing at the top edge. In our black and white kitchen, the table will be nicely camouflaged.
