First Snow of 2004

19 years ago

Pre dawn photo of our first snow fall yesterday. There is always something magical about the first snow of the season. This is the view that awaited me from the kitchen patio doors yesterday morning.

Cheers Jando.

What a wonderful shot! What is that in the distance? It looks like you are at a high altitude looking down on a fog covered valley. Or is it the plains?
Gorgeous color.

HI Dave, behind the garden is a field and in the distance a line of trees bordering another property. The fields elevation gently slopes up and down and tends to roll off in the distance. Photos at dawn do seem to be magical.

Have a wonderful holiday!

That is a real nice scene. That gate is to die for. I'd build one but I have a hard time making a birdhouse. My brother was very impressed too.

beautiful picture- it now resides on my desktop (hope thats okay) in my office- lots of customers just rave about it. Any more detailed pictures of the gate without snow on it? (or should I ask Herb?? :0) )

Hi BoTam and Steve, I know it isn't a traditional gate for a Japanese Garden but I saw a photo of a garden seen from inside a home. The window treatment gave me the idea for the design. I put it on paper and had it made of steal, then powder coated black. The craftsman who made it did a wonderful job and suggested from my drawing not to have the left side go all the way to the top. I had thought both sides were needed for stability, but believe me is is there forever. It sort of reminds me of a quarter moon inside a full moon. I now love how it frames the view into the garden from my favorite spot on the patio. And thank you for your kind comments on the design of the gate. If either of you would like more photos of the installation e-mail me and I would be happy to send them to you. It shows how the gate is anchored in cement.

Happy New Year, Cheers Jando
