October Snow

Nearly 20 inches of snow fell on our property this past weekend!  Saturday afternoon, a few hours after it began snowing, I walked around with my camera enjoying the first snowfall of the season.  I liked how it looked with some colorful leaves poking through the snow.  

During the night when the snowfall was the heaviest, the motion of the falling snow kept our neighbor's motion-sensor light on, lighting up the trees in their yard, creating stunning images.

The next day, we awoke to abundant, brilliant sunlight.  I marveled at the dazzling contrast between the vivid blue of the sky and the snow-laden trees.

Trademark signs of autumn, like colorful leaves and a ripe, juicy apple were covered with a blanket of snow.

In the aftermath, an uprooted apple tree is a mild result of this October snowstorm.

A thawed mountain.

This tree shed it's winter coat, tossing it on the ground, so we could admire it's beautiful autumn dress.

...and now back to fall...
