A Picture For Sunday - Snow-Capped Bulrushes

Many a time I have stopped to look at this view, but I have never seen it as beautiful as it was this afternoon, with the snow on the bulrushes and the water an extraordinary shade of blue.  

The snow is making another quick appearance.  Underneath the ground is its usual muddy self; it was the wind chill factor that was preventing the snow from thawing.  I expect it shall all have vanished by tomorrow evening.
