Last Friday we got about an inch of snow which is the most accumulation of the white stuff I've seen here in over 30 years. Of course it didn't last long but I got a few shots of our Going Steady hibiscus. Fortunately it wasn't cold enough to severely damage the plant and it continues to bloom. All comments welcome. >=))>

Hi Bill,

A very nice composition with some interesting patterns defined by the snow. I wish the snow above the yellow parts was more in focus, especially for that water drop that is present on the tip of one of the petals above the stamens. Other than that, the image looks pretty good...............................Jim

Snow on a hibicus? A fine, unique capture of a one time event, Bill.
