Shades of white

November 16, 2011 by Barb 24 Comments

I took a walk around the yard this afternoon enjoying what is supposed to be the last decent day for quite a while. We’re supposed to get 7cm of (blowing) snow and cold temperatures overnight. No big news to us, we already have some snow – it is the middle of November, after all. Well, I found some delightful examples of white. First, these fungi? growing on the fallen white poplar, now topped off with a bit of the ‘white stuff’.

how beautiful and fascinating is birch bark?

so pretty

the novelty of snow capped logs will soon wear off

our lakefront today, November 16 . . . it’s amazing how fast that happens

I think I better get out for a walk!

    Really liked all your white shots – particularly your second one. It must be amazing to see such a transformation in your lake throughout the year’s seasons.

    Love the birch bark – and your last shot is lovely. That snow looks so fresh. We have had a mild few days and now it is raining again.

    The birch trees are so beautiful and I love the look of the snow. Is the lake actually frozen already? I can appreciate the beauty in the photos, but I also understand how it would get old fast. I look forward to enjoying the winter scenes through your blog since I won’t get to see it in person!

    Crazy how different it is from one part of the country to the next. Love your white captures. The snow covered mushrooms and birches are beautiful. But I really love the composition and texture of the first one. Thanks so much for joining the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge. I hope you’ll join us next week with your favorite autumn photo for a chance to win some fab prizes.
