HALLOWEEN SNOWSTORM, PRE AND POST

We had a surprise snowstorm on Halloween--six inches of wet, heavy snow.  The fall colors were past peak, particularly after we had had a couple of extremely windy days just prior to the snow.  Still, as I have in past years, I had visited our subdivision's multi-acre deciduous woods with my camera to capture some of the color, both the yet-to-fall . . .





. . . and the fallen.

Then the snows came, and even the local flock of turkeys that roost in the woods seemed surprised, as I watched this one in my backyard scratching the snow in search of breakfast.

In an attempt to capture the early snow and perhaps to tell a visual story, I tried to juxtapose the remaining fall color against the snow that was coating the background trees.
