15 Jan Bloom Day: January

Here it is the 15th of the month, and there is only one flower visible (or within reach) to photograph.

Up here in the Convergence Zonewe get a lot of snow compared to Seattle and nearby suburbs. The forecast says to expect snow for several more days and we are off to a good start.  By the end of the week we may have to dig ourselves out.

Snow day accumulation at 11am

Even though all of our plants may be covered in snow – we can still enjoy the gorgeous structure of many of the trees.

Looking south at the Walnut tree.. and all of his plant friends!
