Here is my collection of ‘after’ the snow pictures from the days following. If you go back to my January 21 Snowstorm post you will find a rough time lapse of the snow fall for that day. For a sense of how much fell I snapped a night time picture of the snow clinging to the top of our holiday ball hanging out front. By morning the wind had knocked most of it off and the following day it was sunny.
Plenty of dried plants still to photograph, particularly with the snow in the background. Rhododendron are evergreen and when it gets to be freezing out the leaves will curl (wilt) up to help protect themselves from the cold (you can click here for a highly technical journal article about the phenomenon and here for a lighter article). As the sun melts the snow and the air temperature stays below freezing you can see a lot of icicles hanging off of gutters. The icicles provide another opportunity to play with bokeh and keep in mind the background as well as the foreground of a shot.
Hope you enjoy, as the snow has stuck around for a bit there are more winter wonderland pictures to come!
