After being AWOL since last year, winter finally showed up in the form of a few inches of soft, powdery snow. The last morning in February was the kind of snowy morning I love: still, peaceful, not too cold, with snow falling softly and transforming the sad, scraggly winter garden into a wonderland. Too bad I had to go to work. I did take a few minutes to snap some pictures, since the way this year is going, this could be our only real snowfall. I'm glad I got those pics, because the snow was mostly gone by the time I got home that afternoon, the snow was mostly gone. Beauty is so often transitory, especially in a garden.
