What a fitting welcome to December. I do not often venture outside during the winter months, but it was so beautiful today that I had to grab my camera and capture the moment. I took these about 20 minutes ago.
As much as we need the rain we are getting today - just once I would love snow. Lots and lots of snow. I would put up with the cold, incovenience and all the hassels it would cause just to enjoy it.
Calidore, I so wish I could send you all of my snow!
Sandy, I can't tell you how much I HATE driving in this stuff. Luckily I am only 2 miles from work. Still, I am afraid to go look outside and see how much more we may have gotten overnight.
Alice, for some reason, I think I remember seeing snow scenes on your blog. I guess that is why I think there is snow in your part of the world. . . must have been a freak snowfall or it was a different blog and I am all mixed up.
Yes, after a snowfall the world is quiet....that's because everyone is so busy digging out, there is no time to be making any other noise....LOL...just kidding, but I do get SICK of this stuff very early in the season.
Yes, I did have photos of snow in Canberra this year. We don't often get it in the city - perhaps once every 2-3 years and it melts in a few hours. About 3 hours south of here are the Snowy Mountains which are covered in snow for about 3 months and it's a great skiing resort (not that I go). Further south, in Victoria, there are several mountains that also provide wonderful skiing during the winter months. Tasmania also has plenty of snow and ski fields.
I have a love/hate relationship with winter. Hate the cold, hate the dark, hate the grey/brown/black slush that is so much a part of the season.
Love the light on fresh fallen snow. The magic of a night snowfall, big silent flakes drifting against a dark sky. The joy of snow on Christmas day... and love the begining of spring, which, without winter, would be a non-event...
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.

ReplyDeleteI have to admit that snow is really pretty. I just am not crazy about driving in it. Do you live near you work?
ReplyDeleteNice pictures.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful is that! The few times that I have been in the snow I have been struck by how quiet the world seems. Is it like that at your place?
ReplyDeleteLike Sandy - I wouldn't enjoy driving in it either.
