I sure hope you aren't tired of seeing winter pictures yet, because that's pretty much all I have these days. The kids had yet another school cancellation on Wednesday due to the eight or so inches of snow that we got. Followed by rain, freezing rain, and sleet. They're going to be making that day up in June when I'm sure they'd much rather be swimming or playing outside.
Alex and I weren't feeling well yesterday so we just stayed inside and snuggled. However, this morning I was feeling much better so I ventured out to see what I could find.
The first thing I noticed when I stepped outside was how sparkly everything was. The sun was glistening off the fresh coating of snow that we had gotten overnight. It was absolutely beautiful! When I took a closer look, I noticed individual snowflakes, so my macro lens and I set out to capture some.
Honey and I then walked around to search for more cool stuff. Which was no easy task. Eight inches of snow under an inch-thick layer of ice, covered by another 1/2 inch or so of soft powder. Well, let's just say that Honey wasn't sure what to make of it. And she loves snow!
Her paws kept breaking through the ice and freaking her out a little. Eventually she figured out that she needed to walk gingerly in order to not break the ice. Not an easy feat for a 90-pound dog. :)
While she was off sniffing out squirrels, I was doing my own exploration. Many of the trees were still covered in ice and with the sun shining, there were sparkles everywhere.
