Witchhazel Flowers

Witchhazel is an early flowering shrub and it can be common to see snow while they bloom. There are many different cultivars selected for their flower color.

In Like a Lamb

March started off with a light snow, covering the landscape. Soon it will melt off with the warm temps.

Pond Water Levels

This little vernal pond has been a permanent pond for the past couple years. When the weather eventually becomes drier, this pond will dry up again during late summer and fall.

Snow Induced Evergreens

With a very late fall turning into a quickly, snow-covered winter,  some plants kept green leaves under the snowline. Now with the warmer temps melting off the snow, I am seeing the green life.

Takeoff

I saw that a turkey made prints in the snow with its feet and also the wing feathers. Looks like the turkey took flight to the sky.

Klingon

Out of the wind, the wet snow has clung onto everything it touches. But out in the open, large drifts formed because of the blizzard conditions.

Frosty Spruces

A foggy day quickly created a frosty landscape. The evergreens, like this Blue Spruce, had a good covering of frost on their needles.

Iowa Igloo

A snowdrift has formed over the port-a-hut. The cats like to check it out, though if too much snow falls this winter, the whole shed, including the opening, will disappear.

Beech Snowed In

The European Beech is still retaining its leaves into the winter, collecting snow before it can hit the ground.
