first snow

It snowed yesterday, and it continued all night.  Not the stuff that looks like styrofoam pellets and melts right away, but icy, hard stuff that stuck around all day.  November 10 is very early for this nonsense, but it has a certain beauty as well.

Snow crystals have covered each blade of grass separately.  The textured effect looks like a cocoanut cookie.  For me, it's always about food!


We went for a walk in the National Park and I cut some branches of winter berry.  They make a beautiful, long-lasting display in the house.  The berries are bigger and more plentiful than usual this year.


It's almost time to ditch the pumpkins.  The jack-o-lantern has a certain frosty charm.


Snow covers every branch of the burning bush, but the colours shine through.


There's no snow on these wild rose hips.  But I love these saturated colours.
