Winter and melting snow

Up until a few days ago, more snow fell and it started to pile up.

It’s the beginning of March, temperatures are above freezing during the day – the thaw has begun. The melting snow has left this part of the meadow under water. The oleanders are standing with their roots in the water; this condition will certainly last two or three weeks. If it should rain heavily a couple of times, it will last even longer.
