Until the last few days it’s been a frozen tundra here in the Midwest. Almost every week we got dumped with snow, and with temperatures staying well under freezing, the snow had no chance to melt. This made for perfect conditions in which to do my favorite cold weather activity: hike to the ice falls. Last winter we didn’t really have a long enough cold stretch to completely freeze the creeks and falls, but this winter we did. It was so great to get outside and see the falls!!
One of my favorite things about the ice falls is the color of the ice when the sun is shining through them.
This next picture is from a series of pictures I took of my daughter. It was snowing the most beautiful big, fluffy flakes, so we hurried out to our backyard to grab some pictures.
My next image is of a beautiful snow covered tree that was illuminated by the street light. I spotted it as I was driving into my daughter’s school’s parking lot one evening on the way to pick her up from theater rehearsal. It stopped me in my tracks and I had to get out and get a picture of it.
This next image I took a few weeks ago when I decided to take a drive down to the river to enjoy the sunset.
We have woods behind our neighborhood, so after the most beautiful snowfall that left our neck of the woods looking like Narnia, my son and I had to go explore the winter wonderland. The snow didn’t last long as the temperatures were too high, but it was absolutely stunning while it lasted.
These last two images are a little throwback to previous Share Six challenges. They were two of my favorite images, and what with the theme, I couldn’t help sharing them again.
