After I slid to work this morning, I ran (well, walked gingerly) into the garden to catch the winter wonderland of white. We had about 2″ of light, perfectly placed snow that is clinging to empty branches and stone walls. The “place to see and be seen” is the bird feeder in Azalea Woods. It reminded me of Point-to-Point with [...]

I have just returned from a walk through the garden. Thanks to our garden staff, Garden Lane has been cleared with snowblowers and plows, leaving a six foot wide path through the drifts of snow. It is a beautiful but treacherous hike and, for that reason, I have decided to cancel the walk scheduled for tomorrow, February [...]

Snowy Night Images

I rushed to work…not really…I drove like an old lady on ice…in order to get to my camera and catch some scenes before the snow melted. By the time I was done, my [...]
