Day 16: Haystacks

The color of springtime is in the flower.
The color of winter is in the imagination...

Day 15: Frost on Ice

Another freezing cold day today! I am loving the frost that is covering everything. It amazes me when it's cold enough to have frost on ice.

Day 14: Frost

We woke up to a balmy -25 degrees again this morning! There is frost everywhere: on top of ice, fences, and all over my pine trees. Since it's so cold, I haven't ventured too far from my house. So you get another pine tree picture!

Day 12 & 13: Sunlight and Snow

Can you believe we still have snow on our trees?!!! I LOVE IT!! My camera broke down on me after taking pictures of the kids playing in the snow. Sad day, let me tell you! And, I got told it couldn't be fixed, so my day turned even worse. Thank heavens for Amazon! I was a whole day without a camera and it nearly killed me! So, here's the first two pictures out of my gently used (new to me!!) camera!

Day 11: Pretty In Pink

Playing in the snow was one of my favorite things to do as a child. We would play until after the sun went down and come in soaking wet! My kids haven't hit that stage yet...they play for a little bit and then want to come in. So I try to enjoy the moments when they want to go outside and play! Today was a perfect day for that!!

Day 10: Buck Fence, Sagebrush, and Snow

I missed yesterday, so you get two photos today!! It has snowed all night and all day today! The crazy part: the wind isn't blowing so we actually get to enjoy pretty snow!! Be prepared for snow picture overload because we don't get this very often! As I was driving today, I kept noticing the buck fences around the valley, mixed in with the sagebrush...one of my favorite things! It truly is beautiful when the wind doesn't blow!

Day 9: Snow Art

The wind blew again today-really big surprise there! What was surprising is we had periods of no wind, then it would pick up 100 mph with snow for a while, then calm down. In between one of the storms, I noticed this weed tucked up against one of the buildings outside my house. With the wind blowing, they were nicely coated with snow, but not heavy enough to weigh them down. To me, it looks a lot like a spider up close-what do you see?
