First Snow

There is something so exciting about the first snowfall of the season.  It is fresh, new, clean, beautiful and you have not had the time and opportunity to get annoyed by it yet.

But it does bring its challenges for photography, especially in the dark.

 So cool, now I have two "snow blowers."

He still fits in his snow pants, coat and boots from last winter!

 I know, the hubs sweater is so...distracting.

Hot star.

Hope you had some winter fun today!

Snow Play

Is it seriously FebRuary (for some reason I am hypersensitive of everyone's pronunciation of the first R in Feb this year) and we can go outside and play with just sweatshirts, hats and mittens on?  So serious.  Game on.

It was some one's first real play in the snow today.  Thankfully, he is eating lots of raisins, goldfish crackers and cheese so he had lots of energy for the occasion;)

 The hands behind the back thing is new.

Turbo wanted to prove to me that she can still pose perfectly.

So regal...

Who doesn't play bocci in the snow?  (I have to be honest, the bocci and croquet sets were the only ball type objects in the garage.  Yes, we have other balls in the basement but when you are home alone with a 14 month old terror, it is not so easy to just go in the basement and rifle through your sporting good bin to find the perfect ball).

Alright, back to trying to be interested in this super bowl...

Snow Fall

The first snow is here.  It was beautiful and quiet.  I took advantage of having my morning off and grabbed my camera to shoot the scene using different shutter speeds and exposures.



There is something magical about the first snow and I was happy to enjoy it this morning, alone with a cup of coffee.  Sometimes it is the simple things in life that offer moments of clarity and peace.  These moments make us feel more connected to everything around us, make our hearts swell and fill us with gratitude for life.
