Contrasts

Here is this morning’s picture of some croci growing at the feet of the trees. They have reemerged from beneath the snow blanket with admirable fortitude! The sun and clear skies are warm in appearance only – it is literally freezing out there.

The beautiful snow-covered tree you see is situated near the beginning of our winding driveway. This is one of the final images from last weekend’s snowstorm, now but a melted memory.

PS - Trailhead, I looked it up - the dictionary says that the plural of crocus can be written either as crocuses or as croci. The same follows for cactus, and for octopus (one of my FAVORITE animals!). Ok, there's your English lesson for the day folks. :)
