Photo of the Week: Snowflakes on Bradford Pear Buds

Our backyard has become a winter wonderland of icicles, snow mounds, and tracks of rabbits, birds, and other small animals making their way through the neighborhood.

I snapped this photo of snowflakes on our Bradford Pear, which is still holding on to some of last year’s leaves.

The squirrel in the maple tree chattered loudly as I traipsed through our yard to take stock of how the cold winter has affected our shrubs and trees.
