We finally got a bit of the weather craziness that has been plaguing the rest of the US late last week, with fifteen inches of snow falling on Thursday and Friday.
Now, for those of you in cold, snowy places, fifteen inches is nothing. Having grown up in Colorado, I’m well aware of that. But fifteen inches in a place that usually sees rain year-round and has very few snow plows? Where the general population freaks out at a single snowflake? Well, kind of a mess. School was closed, and my workplace was even closed, which is a rare occurrence. Activities, including an opening reception for my latest exhibition, were all cancelled. The streets were deserted.
Suddenly, there was space in the schedule and a beautiful world outside to explore. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
You may be seeing snow pics here for a while…
That snow is getting everywhere right now. I love your images but have to say I’m longing for some sunshine here with us.
Yeah, I hear you. Sunshine is always treasured in the winter here too.
Kat, these are beautiful! I hope you’re all staying safe and warm.
All is good here! You are one of the folks that probably laughs at us wimps in the NW, living in Maine and all. 🙂
I love these snow images, Kat. A snow day can be a real gift to a photographer.
Definitely a gift! Do you ever get snow in the Bay Area? I bet it would shut your town down too!
Oh, a new white world for your exploration! Enjoy the rarity of this winter gift in your neck of the woods. I really, really love that first image – the way the snow-laden pine seems to be bursting into the light – simply gorgeous.
Thanks Brenda! The snow is almost all gone now… melted away by the rain. But I still have snowy pics to edit, so the fun will last me a while longer!
