Early 2011 snow

Lawrence finally received the much awaited snow this week. This winter there was no White Christmas like 2008 and 2009. And snow almost did not cover the ground this season till now.

A lone branch braving the snow.

Sunshine next morning brought out the real beauty of the snow.

Children tried making snow castle.

Cars had got thick coats.

And toy cars were no exceptions.

Snow was glowing in the sunlight.

Icy Rain in Spring

We had Icy Rain and Storm in the Spring of 2009. Here are some photographs.

The rain starts freezing on metals.
Railings..
large tree trunks ...
and pavements.
Car mirrors too were having ice hanging.


Trees and plants without leaves are nice to watch. They start glowing like silverware with the thin ice film aroungthen in the sun.

Tree trunks look as if they are wrapped with plastic sheets.

The leaves form interesting formations of ice around them and it is fun to look for these patterns among plants.


But most beautiful patterns are formed by the buds, flowers and pods of the plants. A real treat to watch.
