Actually, this was taken at the end of December 2010 several days after a blizzard that hit our area. As you can see, we were one of the lucky areas that did not get that much snow. Some towns not that far away received 2 1/2 feet of the white stuff. NYC, and southern New Jersey were particularly hit hard. This photo was taken at Willowwood Arboretum in Chester, NJ, one of my favorite spots.
