May Snow Storm – wk20

On Wednesday, we had an unusually late Spring snow storm. This year, winter hung around for a long time, so spring was very late. There was not much more than an inch or two of snow. On my way to work, my attention was drawn to the contrast of the white of the snow against the green of the grass.

The lateness of spring was especially noticeable with the absence of leaves in the trees. These trees usually have a mass or rich green leaves at this time of the year.

Passing by Samson Park (see last week’s post) there was a Winter Wonderland, with mist still close to the ground with a dark sky as a backdrop. The white of the snow on the ground contrasted with the shiny wet, orange-brown path. The snow also allowed the blue fence behind the statue to stand out from the background. The street lighting was still powered on, giving the globes a hint of orange.

Getting close gives a slightly different perspective of this snow covered steel bench.

Leaving the park, and crossing the street, I spotted these folks on smoke break.

Down by the office, were this pink blossoms, sprinkled with a covering of snow.

Time to leave the outdoors behind… to the day job.
