Everything is equal in the snow: all trees, all lawns, all streets, all rooftops, all cars. Everything is white, white, white, as far as you can see. Covered by snow, the well-kept and neglected lawns look the same. The snow hides the shiny newness of a just-bought car as effectively as it does the rust and dents of a ten-year-old one. Everything looks clean and fresh and unmarred by time or use. Snow, like the silent death it counterfeits, is a great leveler.

It started snowing again while we slept last night. The snow is still coming down, quite heavily, as the morning grows old.

This would be a good day to learn how to snowshoe.

Bountiful Healing 
I guess your forecasters were wrong again. Do you wake up and want to put footprints all over it? *squinch, squinch, squinch*
…^ best representation I have of snow walking sound.
Sometimes. 🙂
Sometimes I enjoy the pristine condition and hope nobody walks over it.
what a cute xmas tree!
squinch squinch – ah that sounds like powder snow to me
i can feel a snow angel coming on 🙂
You know your snow, Kel. 🙂
This morning it was a muted tinkling sound of the snowflakes landing on other snowflakes who had been sitting on the ground for a few days, followed by the swoosh, crunching sound of me walking on it to take a few photos.
If I’d dressed for it, I’d have made a snow angel. I was out there in bare feet and pj’s with my “bumblebee” coat — a yellow and black down monstrosity — keeping me warm. I meant to go out later, but just couldn’t find the time.
Beautiful, but I will say: Better you than me. I haven’t seen snow in three years and will be quite happy not to see it again.
I like cold weather, but I hate being cold. That said, I do love the beauty of fresh snow. Don’t see that much here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Love the bottom shot of the disappearing pond. So lovely, so quiet, and probably so freakin’ cold.
I think you need to start a new color series, “white”.
Beautiful Robin — but do get out there and make that snow angel!
Our snow is all gone now, and I must admit I kind of miss it – it just was not here long enough for my liking. However there is a buzz going around that it might snow again tomorrow!
I love the snow. We’ve had so little here around Boston so far. It looks like so much fun. Your photos are beautiful.
