My mother always said that St. Patrick’s Day is the outer edge of when we could expect snow, and she’s generally right.

If you want to celebrate St. Patrick’s day with soda bread, you can try my recipe here.

For myself, it feels sufficient to celebrate the end of snow season, so I figured I’d better get this collection of photos up before all the snow we had around here is a distant memory.

These black and white photos have been collected since the beginning of January. I hope you enjoy their value contrasts, composition, light, shadows, shapes, and mood.

Meanwhile, Happy St. Patrick’s Day and happy end of snow season!
