goodbye winter

As winter draws to an end, I find myself missing the few magical days when snow actually fell on our island. I hope it happens again next year.

Late post today because we lost our power and internet for a few hours, but I had fun poking around the yard in the newly fallen snow.

sparkle

Morning sun shines on a stalk of bunny ears grass after a brief spring shower. Beats me why they call it “bunny ears” when it looks much more like a “bunny tail” to me!

fade

Now that we are well into fall, much of the colour in our west coast landscape is gone. We have settled into the season of soft greys, browns, and silver-blues. Even the evergreens seem subdued.

These photos almost look black and white, due to a restrained colour palette combined with backlighting.
