Black and white photo. A suburban patio under a blanket of snow. A large planter and a smaller pot, both with the stubby stems of dormant plants, sit next to a chiminea at frame right. All have snow on top. Behind them, part of snow-covered retaining wall is visible. A second planter sits on the wall next to snow-covered steps leading from the patio to a small hill above the wall. Rising from the planter is a square post that extends beyond the top of the frame. To the side of the post, facing the camera, is attached a wooden insect house with a pointed roof. Landscaping evergreen trees are visible at frame right and in the background, at the top of the hill, along with the bannisters on the deck of a neighboring house. The line of the hilltop is a strong visual demarcation between the stark white snow and the dark trees.
