A Week in Photos

Some random photos taken throughout the past week or two... Enjoy :)



We had some fun on the snowmobile...

... trying to turn a corner in deep snow didn't go well for us... lol! After we laid in the snow and laughed a good while, we brushed ourselves off... got the snowmobile back on the trail... and stayed on the trail, instead of trying to make our own... {smiles}

Incredible beauty in the woods!

Another day ... we took a drive when the sun came out...

We stopped at a local boat ramp area along the lake open to the public and walked down to the water...

The sun was so bright, it hurt my eyes... and maybe my heart a bit too... it was so lovely!

Every tree is beautiful in white!

Our silhouettes shadowed against the backdrop of the glistening snow...

Every corner, nook and cranny of the world was gorgeous today...

Back at home... the icicles hanging off the roof

... snow wreaths hanging on the neighbor's fence..

How did the snow make such beautiful hanging wreaths?  A question for the scientists among us... for me, I just enjoyed the amazing wonder of them!

Have you tired yet of the snow-shine photos? I was soaking it all up, enjoying every second of it!  

Still enjoying the sunshine, out for a drive on one of our favorite mountain trails... on this trail we were VERY glad we were in 4-wheel drive, and lamented a bit that we didn't have tire chains... but luckily we got back out without any problems! This trail is so remote that all who live on it do not have electricity.  The homes are all off-grid... this gives you an idea of the kind of trail we were on :)

I think this is one of my favorite pictures along this trail... I wondered if I could live out here on this beautiful trail without electricity and the typical comforts of life... I wondered... lol!

A lovely red barn set up against the backdrop of the mountains..

As we drove father north, we encountered this bank of angry looking clouds..

Gray skies now... while just a few miles back we were in the bright sunshine... amazing how the lake effect works!

Back home... a momma and her two little ones stopped by for a visit..

... and the poor turkeys were still making their way through the deep snow.

There you have it... about a week's worth of pictures for you!  It is raining, and warmer now here, with temperatures hovering around 30 to 32 degrees, and quite sadly, the snow is melting fast.  Sigh.  I was hoping it would hang around a bit longer than just a couple of weeks, but that is why we got out and enjoyed every day we could, because if there is one thing we've learned, you enjoy every beautiful day here to its fullest, and glean all the beauty you can out of it... because gray winter days are the norm.... which is what we are having now.  {smiles}

How is the weather in your neck of the woods?
