Winter Wonderland

With another big winter storm passing through and two storms in one day, we found ourselves left with 12 inches of snow on Wednesday.   We had a mix of snow, rain, thunder, and lighting all at once!  These photos were taken around the house since we were pretty snowed in.  We were lucky that we didn't lose our power.  You can see in some of the photos how dangerously low our power lines got.  We also had a lot of broken tree branches.  As you can see my new Bernese mountain puppy, Arthur is my new muse.  I decided to put all the nature photos in a slide show and showcase his photos... otherwise this post would have been really long!  All the photos in the slide show are untouched.

It's a little Icy out there!

We woke up today with everything covered in ICE!  It's one of those you're glad to stay in.

A stroll down the street.

I decided to take a little stroll down the street and snap some pictures of my neighbors homes in the snow since they all have a lot of character and charm to them.  I would have walked to Main Street but, decided it might be a little too dangerous.  I have decided to drive down later today instead.  With it not being to cold out, the sun shining, and the wind blowing the snow around it made for some nice photos.  Since I grew up in this area one of my favorite homes is this castle and now I'm lucky to be able to look out my window and see it everyday.  I love the charm that this historic town has, it really makes you feel like you have stepped back in time.

 

A Berner that loves his SNOW!

So I made my second blog post for the day like I said I would... yay!  Our first big snow for 2011.  It started around dinner time and I was happy to be cuddled up on my sofa with some hot chocolate while watching it through our sun room... that was until Arthur decided he wanted to play in it.  The snow is the soft, light, and wet kind good for making snowmen.  Hopefully we can make one tomorrow.  Arthur had a better idea of what the snow was this time and loves it!  Here's some cute shots of him.  The first picture is Arthur telling me to come outside with his sad puppy dog eyes.

Snow Sprinkles

Today, when I walked Arthur for the second time I noticed the "snow sprinkles".  It looks like someone had a giant bottle of snowflake shaped sugar sprinkles and dusted our house and cars like a sugar cookie or cupcake.  I quickly grabbed my camera to capture these cute shapes made of ice.  In a few hours they will either be melted or covered by the 1 - 4 inches of snow that we are suppose to get.  I'll be blogging again later today since I didn't blog yesterday.  I think Arthur is going to get a real kick out of the snow so I'm sure to get some cute shots. "Then again I've taken so many cute shots of him... how can you not... you know?"
