The joke's on me!

Imagine my surprise this morning when I woke up to this--just when i thought we'd seen the last of the snow. Big fat quarter-sized flakes, falling thickly and rapidly. We got about 6", but it is already melting. Seattle? Only rain today. Even the little town 5 miles from me didn't get any snow...we just live in the right curve of the mountain to get the snowfall. And--maybe another storm through this weekend.

Can you see the snow-covered branches of the tree in the background in the drop?

    Another grand slam of a reflection photo! Here's hoping it all melts real soon.

    Amazing reflection, LOVE it! Especially since I can see the tree in the background too. Love the second shot too for the chaos of the branches! :)

    Holy smokes Pat, that reflection is amazing! I drove through some snow today in N Seattle, but nothing like what you got! Are you tired of winter yet?

    The droplet shot is incredible! We woke up to snow like that yesterday, too -- with more to come in the next couple of days.

    It looks so beautiful and fluffy. But goodness, I am so ready for it to go away.
