First Snowfall ( or Winter Pictures, Part 1)

Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories - from the movie An Affair to Remember (quotegarden.com)


I found that living near Toronto people were always talking about snow.  They were talking about how they dreaded the hassels of snow...more work cleaning the drive...more trouble during the morning commute...more difficulty pushing shopping carts through the slush.
Now that I have moved to the Canadian countryside, I found that people still have snow on their minds.  Everywhere I have gone this past week, everyone has been talking about snow.  But when they say the word snow...they have a smile on their face.  They are waiting for the snow to arrive...not just a few flakes...but snow to cover the whole landscape.
And last night it came...

Searching for the perfect hill...
Taking a break...
First time down the hill....
Searching for a better hill....

covered by snow...

Winter homes...

animal prints...

shadows...
at the lake's edge...

our lake....

winter landscapes...

  1. Lovely photos!
    I adore snow. And even though we are not in the country as much as you are, sometimes, I like to pretend we are :)

  2. You were raised a country girl...at least in heart...so that counts, too!
