Over the weekend the Washington DC area got hit by a major snowstorm. Here in Bethesda, estimates are we got 24″ of snow. While it still snowing, I took a couple of walks around my neighborhood with my camera. It’s amazing how different common everyday sights look when covered with a fresh snow.

I photographed berries, leaves, trees, and even a few flowers. Here are a few of the snow covered berry photos I took over the weekend. I was surprised at how many different types of berries I spotted in the neighborhood.
