When I stepped out the front door at 8:00 a.m. this morning this red cardinal was perched obligingly on a snow-covered tree branch in the front yard. A beautiful sight, but not surprising because this is what was happening at 3:00 a.m. this morning right before I went to bed:
Summit Court is in a little cul de sac and on a corner. Here is another view from my front door. You can see that this is a fluffy snow that's not going to last long, but is quite beautiful with the sun glow while it does: 
And finally, this is the sunrise view over the trees in back of my house. I photograph many beautiful--and sometimes dramatic--sunrises from here most days. This is the first snowy one of the season:
I called this post "untimely snow" because this past Friday devastating tornadoes touched down in Kentucky and neighboring Indiana and Tennessee. Small towns have been destroyed and 21 people lost their lives in Kentucky alone. While we marvel at the unexpected beauty of a late winter snow, those communities must see this as a piling on by Mother Nature.
i do feel for those that are struggling with loss, devastation and death. and, then to be handed snowfall on top of it all... God bless everyone who is affected...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Faye...Love that cardinal! I hear you on mother nature...she can be so cruel sometimes! Prayers go out to all who were affected by the tornados. So glad to hear you were spared!
ReplyDeleteI hope your little blue flowers survived! What a beautiful snow... I miss snow so much!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful captures, Faye. I really regret not having snow here in Melbourne. We have to travel quite a distance up to the hills and mountains to see it in Winter.
ReplyDeleteI was raised in Whiting, IN, just across the line from Chicago, so I remember many March snows! I can be happy to see photos now. Yours are really great!
