Snow Blossoms

Yesterday morning Alexandria awoke with yet another dusting of snow, perhaps the last of the season. Almost makes the trees in Market Square look like they’re in bloom.

    The bronze statue is called “Brio” (Italian for vivacity/exuberance/joie de vivre). I didn’t know the name of the sculptor but checking the Internet (http://alexandriava.gov/recreation/culture/public_arts.html), I found it: Jimilu Mason.

    Lucky me to have passante around, especially when I don’t know the answer!

    Hello Marie,
    Lovely dusting of snow on a superb statue, so aptly named!

    I thought they were spring blossoms until I read the comments. The dusting is beautiful and so is the statue.
