Without the snow it must be allready nice but all that snow it makes the shot interesting. I love the S shape of the tree.

Nice the way the eye is drawn upwards from the water feature to the bird house (?) to the branch of the tree- like looking up at a spiral staircase. Well done! Still snowing there?

I'm fascinated by the rythm of the snow layers, their shape is like a calligraphed Japanese character! Could there be something like a spiritual bound between culture and physical environment (landscape, nature)? If you see this you are inclined to say yes. Great picture!!

A little Japanese garden under layers of snow, but still showing its elegant shapes!The eye discovers with pleasure all the shapes, there's joy in this image that makes me feel happy...I don't know why ?!
