Snow started later than expected in Lewes today and it took a while to cover surfaces enough to create the kind of winter scene I hoped to photograph.  I drove around Lewes late afternoon and just couldn’t find a scene or subject that made me want to stop and set up my camera.  This shack on the bank of the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal in Lewes is always an interesting subject with the clever carpentry that gives the illusion of a deck and an open door on its flat front. Kevin Fleming and I shot this in a snow storm a couple of years ago so I returned to it today.  The drift at the bottom left of the shack adds to the 3 dimensional look of the illusion.

The simple yet irresistible lines of corn stubble in a field leading into the lanes of a road, and in a snow storm, are part of the beauty found in rural Delaware if one gets off the beaten path and looks for it.  Beauty surrounds us, we just have to notice it.

Well our no-show snow disappointed many photographers here in Delaware.  I found this tree standing tall against the snow a week ago to represent winter weather on the day when we should have had a winter storm.

As I write this (Sunday morning) more snow is forecast to arrive in coastal Delaware from Monday into Tuesday.  I took this photograph last Wednesday of a farm along scenic Rte. 9 in Kent County.  To my photographer friends out there, go out and look for nice snow scenes in this upcoming storm.  Be safe, of course, but get the shot!

Even the shoulder of Rte. 9 in Kent County took on a fairy tale look yesterday in the snow.

Another Alberta Clipper sailed through Delaware today and a beautiful afternoon snow changed the landscape.  This farm in Kent County caught my eye.
