Saturday Snapshot: January Snow

Saturday Snapshot is hosted by Melinda at A Web of Stories (same host as always but with a new blog - check it out!).

Since I've been feeling better, I have resumed my walks whenever the weather allows, so I have been taking some outdoor photos, too. We got a few inches of snow last week (unfortunately for me, just after my husband left on a 2-week business trip!), so it was very pretty, though a challenge for me to take care of. Now this huge storm is bearing down on us, but it looks like we will be getting mostly rain (which will freeze Sunday night when the temperatures drop below 10 degrees F!).

So, here are some photos of the fleeting winter beauty:

Woke to snow last Sunday

I love how the snow coats the tree branches

How'd that get in here? Go, Saints!

Sunshine and shadows on the snow

Pretty patterns from snow melting on the bushes

Fox tracks through our yard in the snow

Glowing morning light

Our house after the snow

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

  1. I love your snow photos! We haven't seen a single flake (so far) in the Pacific Northwest (except in the mountains). Our winter has been extremely mild. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better and hope you're able to get out-and-about more often in 2019.
    My Saturday Snapshot post features a hike at Tacoma’s Ruston Way.

    1. Not much snow here yet, Sandra - just that bit last weekend - this weekend turned out to be all rain. Thanks for the kind thoughts!

  2. Our snow is coming tonight Sue. I actually don't mind now that we are retired and live in a condo.

    Go PATS - LOL

    1. Yes, my sister lives near Hartford, CT, and I heard they were getting walloped! My family in Rochester, NY, got a lot, too. Hope you just hunkered down and enjoyed some good books this weekend!

    1. You're welcome! You can have our snow, at least until my husband comes home to help clear it :)

  4. There is an extra beauty to all that surrounds us with a blanket of snow and sun shining high in the sky. Beautiful photos.
