Photo of the Day: The Weight of the Snow

With a foot of snow on the ground and another foot expected tonight, I’ve never been more ready for spring. It seems so late in the season for such heavy accumulation, but I did find this photo in my archives from exactly two years ago.

Photo of the Day: Far From Spring

They’re calling it “Snowmageddon” – the largest snowstorm my part of the Midwest has seen in two years. Everyone in my apartment complex had quite a time trying to dig out their cars with brooms this afternoon.

People who had never met before helped each other dig out their cars after a winter snowstorm.

Photo of the Day: Old Tree

I took this photo a year ago on my in-laws’ land in Southeast Kansas. I chose not to use it as the photo of the week merely because I liked this photo better. Looking back, it is a pretty impressive tree.

It may be a gnarly tree in the winter, but this tree probably looks pretty impressive when its leaves grow.

Photo of the Day: Gentle Giant

I’m not a ‘large dog’ person, but I have to admit that the Great Pyrenees is a beautiful creature. You can tell how big this one is by comparing the size of my husband’s hands to her head. This one is only 9 months old…not even full-grown yet.
