Snow is a rare thing in Birmingham, Alabama. This small snowfall made the news. It barely lasted out the day before melting, but it was beautiful while it lasted.
Over the Garden GateThe view from my backyard looking out. The snowy yard is framed by the lines of the gate and the nearby bushes.

Meanwhile, a yellow-rumped warbler looks on. Concealing behind him the yellow spot that gives him his name.
Frost
His yellow is echoed in these early blooming forsythia bushes. They weren't at all put off by the chill.
Where the Road Ends
The end of the road leading into our driveway. Birmingham's traffic ways were seriously hampered when the interstate was added on top of the city. In this picture the strangeness of the road adds interest to an otherwise plain snowy woods.

Patiently WaitingThis was my dog, Zakuro's first snowfall and at first she was terrified. In this picture she is waiting for me to let her back inside. Her black coat makes an excellent contrast to the snow-covered deck and you can see the tenseness in her face. Don't worry, I opened the door a second after snapping this shot.
Snowball
She has a love of balls, though, and as soon as she found out balls could be made out of the white stuff, she was sold. I tried to capture her great reserves of energy and excitement in this photo.
Fetch
You can see her body straining and she bursts into action, ears flying forward, going after the snowball just thrown by her partner in the picture.
Snowday
Zakuro, loving a minute of her play. The focus is more on the dog in this photo as she readies herself for another run, although we get a glimpse of the action of the human from his raised leg.
