Sparkling snow

Filed under: Winter — Judy @ 3:24 pm

The promise of blue sky late Saturday was right on the money! On Sunday the sun was shining and the sparkles were zooming around everywhere. The roads were clear, people were out and about, and enjoying the beauty of the day. Take a look at these shots:

The little crabapple looks like a little fountain! And look at all those deer tracks – guess they are enjoying the snow too . . . unfortunately!

ThisĀ  is the view I see looking out my kitchen door onto the deck. So pretty!

White paperbark birch, long needled pine, and snow – the epitome of a perfect winter scene!

Birch catkins sparkling with their ice jewels.

This beautiful snow, the bright blue sky, and the sparkle of the sun on the snow remind me so much of the great times I had skiing with my family in the Glades at Killington in Vermont when we were young. With my brothers here, waiting for the rest of the family in long ago times.

Now, doesn’t that snow and sun and sky look the same? How would you spend your day if you had a day like this? Skiing, sledding, skating, sitting by the fireplace?
