Today Barbara Owen is sharing some photos with us.

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.
