There’s a winter wonderland in my yard near Bend, Oregon. My favorite western juniper is dressed up for the season with a few inches of snow.
Snowfall softens edges while sharpening the contrast. It can also mute colors, as it did in this photo. The structure shines through, even on a cloudy day.

Getting a similar look outside my den window at the moment. A pretty white coat for the winter!
Cool! Very pretty when You don't have to go anywhere.
Wow, that's gorgeous. My favorite thing (well, one of my favorite things) about winter is the return of the Varied Thrush. I'm imagining it perched on a branch in this tree. It's a beautiful world, isn't it?
Thanks, Bonnie! Yes, I would love to see a varied thrush on that tree. Everything is prettier covered with snow.
A beautiful scene. 😊
Thanks! Pretty & very cold.
Very pretty, and I see what you mean about muting the colours - I would have taken this for a black and white shot! I hear you have very cold weather on the way over there - stay warm!
Yeah, there's barely any color in that picture. Very cold temps over various parts of the U.S. At least we haven't had high winds here!
Wow! Superb!! We don't have snow here so your image are a perfect way to enjoy winter beauty from across the world!
Thanks! Snow makes everything beautiful.
That's a lot of snow and a gorgeous sight, Siobhan. Must be so cold too. So glad you shared and sending you some warmth. See you around.
Thank you, Parul! Yes, it was very cold. ❄
Snow certainly does make things beautiful. Not only does it soften colors, but it also softens sound making things more peaceful.
Yes, you're right, JoAnna! I love how it muffles sounds.
