Early this morning I took some photos before the plough would come along, before the busyness of the day would trample the clean snow underfoot.

By our side door, a drift stretching right to the backyard

I used auto-enhance to show the drift patterns in the front yard

Like a seam in the snow

My neighbour teen already out clearing snow from the family driveway

And look what turned up when I began to shovel snow, right near our house foundation, blown by the wind, preserved by the snow

Sun coming up, casting a pink light onto the clouds and illuminating snow in the tree

More snow a’coming.
