When we moved to the Tennessee Valley from South Carolina six years ago, I couldn't have been more excited about living in an area that had snowy winters.
That was the year our hometown had a 100-year record snowfall of 18 inches; during the 14 years we lived there, it had maybe snowed 5-6 inches twice. During this same "snow event" that showered our South Carolina friends, we received–if I'm not mistaken–124 snowflakes; a heavy frost produces more sparkle and shine.
Saturday morning I woke up to the whispers of my 12 year old–"Look at that, Mom!"
Through sandy eyes I looked at him and blinked, confused.
"No…look at THAT!" he demanded, finger pointing in the opposite direction…my window.
A surprise snowfall had blanketed our yard in cotton and white, and snow chunks were still falling.
I grabbed my camera, braved the elements, and started shooting–a kid in the candy store–
By lunchtime, 40 degrees erased the evidence. The snow might've been gone, but thanks to my BFF Ms. Nikon, it was hardly forgotten :).
Your turn: Do you have a favorite capture from the above series? Would you mind sharing in comments which one and why? Feel free to link posts with snowy pictures of your own, too!
one can never go wrong with red berries in the snow
Lovely shots, Robin! I’ve quite had enough of the snow right now. Actually, no. It’s the cold and the wind that I’m done with. Too cold to even go outside for photos.
So many of us have posted winter photos; but it IS that time of year! Plus, it does provide us with such beautiful photos…I especially like the last two with the snow on the leaves. Happy WW!
The snow is certainly very pretty. But I grew up with it, and was never really fond of the cold in general. It’s much nicer to look at it from a distance in others’ photos 🙂
Your photos are beautiful. I like the winterberries and the brick path shots the best.
Though I’m farther north (in Connecticut), you’ve had more snow! We are close enough to the shore that we are having rain instead of snow. I think the best snow is the kind that arrives long enough for beautiful photographs – and then disappears!
Beautiful pictures! I especially love the last one. I live in Ohio, and I love snowy winters! If it’s going to be this cold, it might as well snow! (as long as I don’t have to drive too far!)
My two favorites are the pathway and the berries.
I like the last two the best, with the second to last coming in first! I love the white and red!!
Like so many others I love the photo with the red berries. I would appreciate all your pictures more if we were not waking up to more snow every morning. I like the kind that comes and then is gone in a few hours. We’re not likely to see the ground again until April. I find that very depressing. And we have been having sub-zero temps to go with our snow. I’m seriously thinking of moving back to Phoenix. Seriously. 😉
What a great Wordless Wednesday! Hope you have a fantastic day!
GORGEOUS!!!
I really like the photo of the red berries in the snow. It could be a Christmas card!!
Oh love them all, but especially the one of the walk way. I am drawn to pictures that are lined up in ways most people wouldn’t think to do.
Also I have snow envy.
love those photos! 🙂
u may view mine here
Love the berries, but the walkway is wonderful, too. No snow here in south Georgia! Rest assured that if there is, I will definitely blog about it!
I love the one w/ the berries! So pretty. Looks like it was just the right amount of snow to make everything stunning for a little while.
How perfectly marvelous. LOVE the one with the red berries.
Amazing shots. 😉 Us Texas girls can only dream of that much snow.
