First snow storm at Lower Branch Road.

We did not get as much snow as predicted. But when it came last night,it turned my yard into fairy wonderland. My wash line looked awesome and I was hoping that it would still look the same in the morning.Luckily , it looked even more spectacular. Camera in hand,
 I stomped through the snow, hearing bits and pieces drop from bushes and trees. I was waiting for the sun to come out to brighten things up a little, but she did not cooperate.
Neither did the chickadees,being much too busy to pose for my camera .
In no time the beauty had disappeared.
How wonderful , that we have means other than our eyes and spirits to capture the wonders of nature for a while.
