Sparkles

For Aussie who wanted to see the fence in snow. 
This is sloped land by the way, not a crooked shot.

It's so beautiful! I just love all of the snow crystals all around.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks. We have lots of snow this year.

Oh, I LOVE when the snow sparkles like this, Mary! That, my friend, is a lot of snow. It'll stay around for a long time, lucky you.

Aussie will LOVE seeing the fence covered like this. And I like the looks of a Christmas tree going back to Mother Earth. smile
Mary MacADNski: That is the little blue spruce behind my garden. It's only about three feet tall. All the large stones in front are completely covered. Here's a photo that shows a bit.

*sigh* so beautiful, so stunning, the serenity is so good in this picture, see the stars on the snow, Wow Aussie, you lucky guy to have such a tribute, Mary a deep bow for you my friend.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Astrid. Aussie is away for the week. I put my photos up a week in advance and found out too late she was going away.
Just a beautyful and peaceful image Mary. Great lighting
Mary MacADNski: The sun does it's job. Thanks, Richard.

Beautiful landscape and great picture. The crystal like refelctions must be awesome to observe.

Excellent request from Aussie.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Louis. The snow was especially beautiful this week with the full moon and strong moonshadows. With the great reflection of the moon on all the white snow, I'm sure you could read outside.

That is a terrific shot. Everything above the snow is super sharp and the snow itself looks nice and crunchy.
Getting everything in focus like that was a wonderful achievement
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Pops. It was a great day to be alive.

I'd hate to lose my keys out there, you'd not find them til April smile
Mary MacADNski: One year on Christmas day my kids brought a new game with them when we went to christmas dinner at grandma's. When we got home one of them dropped it in the snow getting out of the car. All the black pieces were found immediately....the white ones, not till spring. LOL Thanks for the memories.

This is great...makes me think of a "white christmas", which I read about a lot, but couldn't really imagine as I spent my childhood in a desert area of Australia where snow was improbable at any time of the year.
Mary MacADNski: You should spend a Christmas in Canada - just for the experience. I spent one in Australia, and a new years eve in Sydney, and my Jan. birthday which previously had been snow filled. What an experience to spend these three holidays on a beach!

Mary this is soooooo beautiful, I love it.
The sparkle in the snow is great, winter wonderland.
Sure Aussie will appreciate this shot smile
Mary MacADNski: She's away for the week and I didn't know when I posted. I'll send her here though.

Love it! That snow is sparkling..It is simply beautiful. It sounds gorgeous in the moon light!
Mary MacADNski: Oh the moonlight was incredible. At Christmas time's full moon it was the same too and my pond was perfect for skating. Pure perfection!

What a fun scene. I like the way the snow sparkles too
Mary MacADNski: The sparkle was the point....to show Aussie, who is away for thw week. LOL
Me gustan estas texturas! Se puede apreciar el brillo de los cristales de hielo!
Mary MacADNski: There is lots and lots of snow. This link shows how deep it is. The piece of wood in front of the tree is the same wood in the photo in the link.

Hay porciones y porciones de nieve. Este acoplamiento demuestra cómo profundamente está. El pedazo de madera delante del árbol es la misma madera en la foto en el acoplamiento.

Beautiful, bright and a real treat for those of us who rarely see it. Wonderful, Mary. (:o)
Mary MacADNski: I suppose it is.....like palm trees for me.

This looks like a bizarre snowman who's just fallen off his skis!! That is a lot of snow Mary.

Nice Nina Simone track
Mary MacADNski: It is deep, Bill. Do you remember this? It's a photo of the piece of wood in front of the tree. Nina is always fabulous!

Gosh that snow looks deep!
Mary MacADNski: It is deep. This is a photo of the piece of wood in front of the tree.
Wow! Gracias por incluir el enlace en tu respuesta, eso me ha permitido poder comparar y ver realmente la cantidad de nieve que tenéis! smile

Wow! Thanks to include the link in your answer, that has allowed me to be able to really compare and to see the amount of snow that you have! smile
Mary MacADNski: Lots and lots and lots!

¡Porciones y porciones y porciones!

This is the same piece of wood sticking up out of the snow in front of the spruce tree.
Nice one again !
Mary MacADNski: Lots of snow this year - an old fashioned winter.
