Pictures of the Snowstorm
You must be so sick of all the snow photos that I have been posting. However, nothing is more beautiful than after a couple of days of snowstorm and then a bright morning with a sky so blue, it looks like I shot it in Velvia (slide film) but in truth, I did not alter any part of these shots or touch up the colours. They are as blue and bright as you see here.
This was the neighbour’s house. I love the icicles!
The blue skies I was talking about.
Walking down the pathway, that we normally take to school…
Matt and the boys were the only ones outside on the hill (see their tiny specks in the picture below?) The ducks had a little spot to themselves in the nearly frozen pond.
This is the carpark to the swimming pool, next to the pond. It doesn’t look like a car park now!
Thigh deep in snow.
I finally gathered up the courage to go on the sled with the boys! Did it for a couple of times and then gave up when I thought I was going too fast! The boys didn’t seem to mind the speed. In fact James was grumpy because he thought it was slower than the last time!
Crashing to a stop at the foot of the hill. This was when I pulled my muscles in front of my thighs because we did a 360 degree spin coming down that hill. Did I say it was fast? I gave up after that. The snow is meant for my boys and I went back home to do some quilting. A more safe alternative, me thinks!
This was the view from the top of the hill. The pond is at the bottom, the little shed in the corner is the community pool and behind those trees is our house somewhere.
America is so beautiful - even though I don’t like the cold, the winter has been a real novelty. The blizzard is really something, I don’t mind it returning again next year!

Looks fun…all the activities….the snow scenes are beautiful too. But I can feel the biting cold even from here!!!
