My blog is suffering...from too much snow, I think. I LOVE winter landscapes, but this is ridiculous. It's March 10...supposedly, Spring will arrive in 11 days. I am convinced that the new season will eventually appear, but there is a lot of snow that must melt before then. (Weather forecast does say that we might have 60-degree temperatures in about 10 days. That's much better than the 6-degree mornings and 32-degree days.)
My choice for this week's photo is a combination of the snow and a warm-blooded creature: a "town deer" bedded down with 5 other deer behind a snow berm across the street on a church lawn. When I "chirped" at them, she peeked over the snowbank. The blue spruce is a shelter of sorts for the deer, and since there is absolutely no feed available because of the snow, the branches have even served as lunch.

I'd want to feed them. I am a pussycat. This really is a great picture! By the way, my photos from last year show that we had a very unusual snow on February 20th... Very late in the season for that sort of thing. THis year we get some in March. Hmppphhhhh. It's just on the higher hills --and of course the mountains now.
I posted last night--- but I think I forgot to hit "Publish"
I'd probably feed them. I'm a real pussycat when it comes to critters. I love the picture.
Evelyn, our snow just keeps falling! I'm beginning to look forward to our trip to the beach in CA end of April. We love snow, but we're having trouble knowing where to move it - town is a mess.
Cute shot of the deer. - I hear you about too much snow. Ours is just about melted but it may take a few more days to be completely gone.
They do have ways to survive the winter, but my heart goes out to them for the difficulty of it. Here they have plenty of green. Great shot, Evelyn.
