Winter is a special time of the year here in Bend. Winter walks around the neighborhood are highlighted with landscapes covered in snow and ice.
He who marvels at the beauty of the world in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration in winter.
John Burroughs
Buildings are blanketed with snow and edged with icicles.
Twisting trails are carved through snowdrifts.
Meandering rivers are covered with a cool layer of ice.
Bare branches are clothed in frost and snow.

I must admit, we've summered in Bend and enjoyed it immensely but it would take a great deal of pushing to get me there for the snow! Beautiful photos of a beautiful neighborhood SB
Pretty!
Yes, it is! :)
Beautiful winter shots..
Thank you! 😁
Beautiful! And that "Be notoriously kind" sign should be notorious! :D
Thanks! Yes, that sign is part of the the Bend JOY Project. It helps spread messages of kindness throughout our community. 😊
Such a different world on the other side of the mountains. I miss the snow!
It was a late winter but I'm glad it finally arrived! 24" of snow. 😃
So true about lovely winter days - and I love those berries!
Thanks! The rose hips are on a volunteer rose growing in our yard. :D
