First Snowfall

The sun is shining for the first time in days, and there’s snow on the ground. Fresh snow is one of those things that I can’t help smiling about, so I just had to head out to snap a few pictures this morning.

First snowfall of 2009

Small plants dusted with snow

Snow covered pines

Have an awesome day! Keep smilin’ :)

    Nice shots, Lena. I do think a tad of photoshop is a good thing when used to overcome the camera’s inadequacies (can’t always see as well as our eyes), so as to look more like the naturally seen scene, but the super-saturated and oversharpened stuff truly is a turnoff to me, too.

      Thanks Sara!

    Great shots! Looks so cold though.

      Thanks! It actually wasn’t too bad. It had already started melting even as I was out shooting in it. :)

    You are special; you’re the first to say that fresh snow is one of those things that you can’t help smiling about. Some people even dislike it and some complain it is too cold. :)

      Thank you! That’s so sweet to say. :) I guess it’s the little girl in me that still sees the innocence and cleanness of fresh snow and that’s what makes me smile. Although, as an adult I have to admit I’ve done my fair share of complaining about it too when I have to drive in it. :)

    Lovely shot – I love to photograph snow – looks really cold.

    Beautiful white snow! Lovely sight not often seen here in so. California…except in the mountains. Nice captures!

      Thanks Carolyn! Unfortunately it doesn’t stay white for long, but I couldn’t imagine living without it. :)

    Hi Lena,

    Thanks for visiting.

    Which part of Ontario are you? I was studying in Windsor 1975-78. It was also the first place I saw snow. The first fall, was just a few pellets, and I thought some one had fertilised the trees with little white pellets.

    Then that winter, it went down to 28 degrees, a record low.

      Hi Ann,

      You’re welcome. Thanks for returning the favor. :)

      I’m in central Ontario now, but I grew up in the Windsor area.
