In a recent talk I gave about Japanese gardens, I did not include very many snow images – just the wonderful results of a very light light dusting, and moss peaking out from snow as it melted around a water basin.
Reviewing photos taken over the years of my personal attempts at a Japanese inspired tea garden made it clear how many different wonderful effects are possible – from delicate dustings to deep mounds of snow left by blizzards; from branches outlined by or weighted down and drooping with damp clinging snow.
