I shot Patrick Dougherty’s sculpture in the snow once before. Â I was hoping that with the heavy wet stuff we got today, they’d be completely enclosed — like two-story igloos. Â But by the time I got down there at lunch today, Collegetown had warmed up and the snow was starting to melt. Â Still, the coating on the locust branches is pretty impressive, and the snow does give the work a different feel.
Those are beautiful in the snow. Gives them a gravity that’s a nice counterpoint to their usual tall airiness, if that makes any sense.
I assume that the heavy snow didn’t hurt them any. Did you have any damage in your garden?
