After being in the high 80s since Feb we just got surprised with some snow the other day. It melted as fast as it came but we had a good blanket (for us anyway). I didn't pull out the camera until it started melting. Just a few photos from the day.

Poor blueberry bushes. Right as they were putting out buds leaves and flowers.

Spring delay. Can't decide about this one, what's everyone think?

At least it washed the pollen off

Playing with a little selective color

Thanks!

You must remember my location lol, I've only personally seen snow really stick maybe 6 times in my 30 years on this earth here in the hottest part of SC. By March we are usually well on our way to summer. So for us, something like this is a shocker especially after the temps we were having. Why do you think all you northerners and midwesterners migrate this way in the first place! ;)

Believe me I would love to, but you know, the wife, kids, grand kids,ect.
We drove through that area 2 weeks ago and it was 75 or so and we have
friends that just moved down there to Bruxton and take every opportunity
to reminds us how nice it is.

I love these Matt. The blueberry shot is especially beautiful but what I liked most of all is the overall mood they portray. The bird house is barren, the blueberry blossoms are crying, the Rhododendron is shivering and the car...well the car just looks angry!

Thanks! The pink flower is actually an azalea! Most were already blooming, saw this one curled up tight like it was trying to keep warm and it just fit the icy cold photo. The blueberries were about the same, it's kind of a trick. The blooms grow like that anyway, kind of hanging down and drooping off the stem but it just fits the weather in the photo well!

The car is angry ;) Ask the Georgia cops just past Atlanta.....
