Snow starfish!

I took a break from clearing the drive from our massive snow fall and found this strange creature in the wood…my snow starfish!  Well, it amused me!

I noticed how, despite the low light and heavy snowfall, the clipped shapes really contribute to the winter garden.

The boring laurel hedge which normally hides the bonfire pile in the corner and the simple bench provided a solid structural presence and architectural focal point.
