Picture a day - April blizzard

After lunch, my wife sent me to a grocery store to buy carrots and onion. Looking out the window, I saw a scary but at the same time alluring picture (on one hand, but on the other hand...) - a very strong blizzard was raging outside! All the ground and surfaces became covered with snow, again. I'm always wary of taking photographs in such terrorist conditions, but sometimes I still want to unholster my camera... I decided to borrow the camera with me, in case I would want to snatch a few shots (for the sake of fresh contrast to the stuff I shoot usually). The experiment was a success! I really haven’t had such shots in my collection yet...

But the most amazing thing, probably, is that this photo was taken just yesterday! While crocuses, cherries and rhododendrons might already blooming for a while in most parts of Europe - here to the east, deep into the continent, winter still recedes, still strikes back... I already was considering to start the cycling season, but now I put it off again until the snow melts. Hope it won't be long!
