This poor plant is directly in the path of the snow melt coming off the roof. Good thing it's a hardy specimen.
Isn't this tangled twisted peice of ice amazing!!
A sneak peak of the Vancouver Island mountain range... if we were able to trim some of those maple trees we would have a spectacular view. But since they grow like weeds here, there's really no use! Icy gorgeousness!
Some snow damage. I think this is fortuitous, these branches always hit me in the head when I mow the lawn. :) Wow, we will be doing lots of cleanup after this winter.
