It snowed all week, with three storms in a row dropping foot after foot of powder. A few hours of rain between storms left a heavy blanket behind, and digging out was a major task. There was too much snow to be measured in inches. The piles in town were eight and ten feet tall, and a few neighbors on our county road have their windows blocked by snow that slid off the roof.
It wasn’t just people who were snowed in; the deer were immobilized too, and spent days sleeping in the tree wells.
Eight deer spent the day in a fairy circle around this pine,
and then I started seeing deer under more and more trees.
I couldn’t count how many deer were lying down here, so I called out
and all four stood up.
There were four under this tree,
and my favorite mom with two yearlings spent all day dozing under a tree near my office.
Dear little deer.
BEAUTIFUL !!! I want to look ut my window and see the deer and snow!!!
You live in a winter wonderland. Thanks for sharing. Just beautiful.
Beautiful photos - thanks for sharing them. Sking must me wonderful for you - have you been recently?
Here in s.e. MI, we have had very little snow this year - waaaay below normal!
I have a mid-week pass at Purgatory, which has piles of snow. We went to Telluride for two days last week, where there was much less snow but 4X the terrain and fabulous steeps. Very glam!! (We’re comparatively dowdy here.)
How special to see the deer so close.
HI Alice - thanks for the skiing info. I’m always envious of those who get to ski with any kind of frequency (so I’m very envious of you!!) Glam or dowdy - skiing is always wonderful!
Hi to mvPat and Tina C, too!
I have never seen anything like that… great pic.
Hi Alice! I love your photos and have, in fact, wondered where deer go during snow storms. I never see them when I go walking in my woods. They must be FAR off the trail.
We are getting walloped with snow today and tonight…8-12 inches. I suppose by your standards that’s not much of a wallop!
Hope all is well! And hi to mvPat and Barb.
