beneath a glassy sky
petals of snow

Jane Dougherty Writes 
Tension between the blossom and the snow. Can they merge somehow into a winter flower?
Frozen perhaps.
Beautiful! Are your pear trees blooming already!
No, they’re wild cherry trees. It’s a lovely sight, the hedges are full of blossom.
The are much like our flowering pear her. We have the flowering cherry also that will be out in a couple of weeks.
I think I read somewhere that pears are the first to blossom but I expect that means of the cultivated fruit trees.
They are almost always one of two here that bloom early!
Lovely! We have crazy weather. My Spring flowers are coming up and don’t seem to know that white stuff on the ground is snow.
It must be warm snow 🙂
Well, it melts within a few hours and waters the emerging flowers. ❤️
They must like it 🙂
Dont mention snow, Jane! Feeling the coldness in all my bones, want to have sun. :-))
I won’t. I haven’t seen snow for years now. But I remember what it’s like!
:-))

I like the imagery here. I just want things to settle down and spring to come on!
