Impressions by Larry Lefever
It snowed last night.
Posted by Larry Lefever (Lititz, United States) on 13 January 2011 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
Shadows courtesy of our porch lighting. Let the shoveling begin.
Marcia just pointed out that one of the many deer that have settled in behind our house is lying in the background (Middle left). We usually have between 6 and 10 that spend the winter with us. They're around in the summer, but we don't often see them.
Many thanks for visiting and though I may not always reply to your comments, know that they are greatly appreciated.

@GJC: I agree. I should have been out in the countryside shooting instead of the back porch.
@Punit: Thanks, Punit.
@Céline: Thanks very much, Celine.
@Marilla: Thanks, Marilla. I love shadows on snow.
@Barbara Lee: Thanks, Barbara. We're very lucky here in our little house.
@¨‘°ºO Dutçh Oº°‘¨: We love our deer, but don't feed them, (Other than allowing them to devour Marcia's garden). The little woods is only a couple hundred feet wide, (The top railing is blocking a row of houses), and about 400 yards in length between the two rows of houses. It does connect with some orchards and woodland where they spend most of their time, especially in the spring and summer. They're plenty fat and we don't feed them for fear of attracting more. We would often see a dozen of them out there last winter and a herd like that can devour a garden.
@Marleen: Thanks, Marleen. On the evening news there was a map showing snow coverage for the lower 48 and it covered about 75% of the nation, (and yes, every state except Florida). It's great for us photographers, but those poor folks in the South that never get any snow ... well they ain't smiling.
@Karine: Thanks, Karine.
@Mike Baker: Thanks, Mike.
@Jen: Thank you, Jen. Sometimes it feels just homey enough to want to hibernate. :)
@MissT: Thanks. I see Chicagoland has deer as well.
@Anita: They do, but Marcia tries to plant deer-resistant species. They do have a sweet tooth for my favorite flower ... the tulip.
@¨‘°ºO Dutçh Oº°‘¨: The deer seem very adaptive. Barking dogs, snowblowers, snow shovelers .... as long as you don't get too close, they just look at you and chew. And yes, the birds always need help in the winter. Stay warm out there. :)
@JCJ: Thanks very much.
@Ted: Thank you Ted.
