Today Barbara Owen is sharing some photos with us.
People may be tired of winter and looking for photos of spring, but even when a blanket of snow is covering the sleeping garden, there is still a lot to see.
With our climate becoming more unpredictable, sometimes the snow surprises us too early and the colorful fall landscape is dramatically transformed.

The snow simplifies and highlights the view, clearing the drawing board for new ideas or rearrangements in the garden.

Beautiful photos of snow in your garden.
Snow really does give a garden a completely fresh new look.
I'm actually enjoying the winter hibernation that I go through along with the garden plants.
We will see spring in real life soon enough- I"ve enjoyed your garden photos!
Thank you!
What a wonderful garden! Even in the depths of winter there's so much to see. It makes me want to see it again in the spring.and summer!
This garden shows us winter interest. Winter interest is usually (to me) what we have to settle for after the garden has finally died back and the cold has set in. The English Garden - a magazine I highly recommend for those us who would like to see all the wonderful things we could do.with our gardens if we had a bit more land and a few more on the gardening staff - shows that some gardens are still stunningly beautiful when they're reduced to the white and muted grays and greens. Winter interest can be astoundingly beautiful.
But, it takes looking. And time. And a bit of passion too. But it's there to see, and be amazed and refreshed.
Thank you, Barbara, for showing us this beautiful display of winter interest. It will be an inspiration long after the snows have melted and bulbs are blooming once again.
Thank you - wish you could come see it in real life! English gardens- just finished reading Rosemary Verey by Barbara Paul Robinson. A glimpse into a very different era and style of gardening. Quite a contrast to mine.
Great pics!
Thank you. About to go out and take more of today's snow.
I find winter scenes so quiet and meditative. Never tore of looking out my window. When I look out at my garden at the bird feeders and see the striking colour of the cardinals it’s just a treat. Thanks for sharing it’s just a beautiful garden.
Yes! Especially with all the activity of the birds at the feeders- their personalities, determination and grit to make it through the cold.
Those rabbits were dancing!!! Love these photos.
Beautiful photos of your garden in snow. It looks very elegant! Your comments are delightful, too. I love the textures and patterns in your last photo.
