More Snow and then Sunshine



I'm really, really hoping these are the last snow pictures I'll bore you with this year.


Here, seen through the grubby windows of the M23 bus, are glum people trudging about as the snow falls. We had 7 inches in total.


More of the same


and then we pass the Flatiron Building.


I bought bread and salad at Eric Kayser


then missed the bus by Madison Square Park


where I spotted a cheerful red umbrella.  


In the afternoon, I spied a snow plough though the window of Tea & Sympathy


and the Joyce theater though the window of a taxi.


Lo and behold! This morning was sunny - if only 11F...


The sun was so bright window reflections appear confetti-like on opposite walls.


On the roof dead rose leaves are encased in ice.


Looking down all is crisp. I hope the sun melts some of the wretched snow and we can at last dream of spring...

    1. Yes, it's been quite the worst winter since 1934! I'm sure Florida was better!

  3. Photos I love, weather I do not love so much. Your winter has been challenging to say the least! I would have lost my tiny little mind! You are made of better stuff!

  4. I've been enjoying catching up on your posts this morning. I love that so many of the places in your photos look familiar to me!! I, too, am looking forward to taking photos of spring. Winter photography is getting old to me. That's probably why I haven't been taking many photos lately. I have a few that I haven't shared yet to hold me over until the first signs of spring. : ) I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!!! xo

  5. Oh My Goodness, what beautiful but cold photos.
    The wildflowers are already blooming here in Tucson. We did have some winter rains but I think not enough.
    I am not sure if that means the flowers are blooming because of the rain we had or if they are blooming before the scorching hot summer comes ?
    I think of Tea and Sympathy every time I see a Cadberry Egg, I assume is made by Hersey.
    Must check out the online markets for English chocolates.
    Be warm and woofs to Buster.

    cheers, parsnip

  8. You have certainly had more than enough snow this winter. Red so noticeable this time of year. In the garden centre restaurant this morning 3 people had bright red coats and they really stood out from the rest.
