1st snowfall, nice Pond Pic

[shanezam203]

I was eagerly waiting my 1st snow fall, we got a dusting in Chicago last night, not as much as they forecasted but I'll take it.
Anyone else get any snow, any pics from last year?

We got more snow already than all of last winter.

1st snowfall

2nd snowfall

I like how the fresh snow frosts and highlights the edges of everything.

Just some flakes here but nothing stuck yet.

This is last year in February.
Let me see if I can resize the photo so it will upload.
Ok it works when I make the photos smaller:

Love the pictures JW! Nice piece of country you got there too! I like all the trees and the snow, and your horses?

Here's a look at some of the open pockets of water on my pond today... the lovely shape of the ice

Real Nice, my fish don't come UP when there is ice or snow, only on Warm days they come up looking for food.
This is my 1st winter, great pics; keep them coming.

Thanks Colleen and nope the horses are on a horse breeding farm behind us. We only have cats and fishies. No snow this winter yet,well we did in Feb. but lots of trees around our property growing bigger and bigger each year. Someday I hope this little Giant Sequoia will get to be big and beautiful but not sure it will happen in our lifetime:

Shane, those fish are three feet down under the ice at the bottom of the pond, they are very very large koi, it just looks deceiving. The pond would be frozen over if not for the 1500 watt heater. I also have another thread with lots of winter pictures, "my pond runs all winter zone 2/3." I keep that thread updated with lots of fresh pictures of winter.
