Winter Landscape

Evergreens are to only green ones to add special interest during this season. Deciduous trees add visual interest with the bare branches. The dominating color is white (from the snow). On light snowy days, it appears like powder sugar is sprinkled everywhere. On heavy snow days, there is nothing but only snow dominating the entire landscape covering several inches to several foot of snow. On windy days, the snow is carried away by wind forming small snow mounds on the ground somewhat similar to the sand dunes.
