Grackle as the snow falls.

Snow on the Pear Blossoms

“Is the spring coming?" he said. "What is it like?"... "It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine...” 

― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden 

Or in this case - the snow falling on the pear blossoms! This was from our snow yesterday. We got about an inch and it was one of those that stuck to the trees well, but not so much to the roads. The best kind!

Winter Branches

"There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you ..... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself."

Snow Day

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? 

And then it covers them up snug, you know, 

with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, 

"Go to sleep, darlings, 

till the summer comes again.” 

 ― Lewis Carroll

Caught In the Snowstorm

All life and action upon the snow have an added emphasis and significance. 
Every expression is underscored.

Spellbound

Out of the bosom of the Air 

 Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken, 

 Over the woodlands brown and bare, 

 Over the harvest-fields forsaken, 

 Silent, and soft, and slow 

 Descends the snow.

-  Emily Jane Brontë

To Chill A Mockingbird

Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.

Snow was falling, 

so much like stars 

filling the dark trees 

that one could easily imagine 

its reason for being 

was nothing more than prettiness.
