"A snowflake is one of God's most fragile creations, but look what they can do when they stick together!" ~ Unknown Author


I told you guys that I took a ton of snow pictures :) I hope
you're not getting tired of them.


This shot was taken from Celia Drive looking toward our
house. You can barely see the roof sticking up from the
Leyland Cypress trees. I call those trees our living fence.


View of the cemetary from Celia Drive. Beautiful!




This picture was taken in the field adjacent to our house.
The plowed furrows of the field make the snow look like
a white, sandy beach.

A Snowy Day in the Neighborhood


Terry holding a couple of "Winter sandwiches"
(My sister Kay coined that phrase) that came
off of his car during our recent snowfall. FYI, a
"Winter sandwich is a solid layer of ice in between
two layers of snow :)


This is how Dan Drive looked the morning after our first big
snowfall of 2010. Ice and snow covered and very slick.




Looking toward the field adjacent to our house.


Dan Drive runs in front of our house.
That's our mailbox on the left.


Around the curve and down the hill.


The hill leading up to our house was very slick. It's times
like these that I'm glad we have a Jeep :)


I would rather have 6" of snow than 1" of ice!

The Greatest Show on Earth


On January 23, we attended a performance of the Ringling
Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus in Nashville, TN. My sister,
Jane, and her two daughters, Sarah and Julia, also attended.
My niece, Sarah, took the following pictures of the elephants.
They are beautiful creatures and were my favorite part of the
circus!


Thanks again, Sarah! You did a great job of capturing these
photos :)

“The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event” ~ Unknown Author


Terry and I ventured out into the snow to get some pictures.
We walked around the house, down in the cemetary adjacent
to our backyard and up the street. It was very icy and I was
afraid of falling and busting not only my derriere, but my
camera as well.


The cemetary, which is always a peaceful place to walk was
even more serene with the snowfall. Here's Terry looking at
something in the snow. Not sure what it was.


We don't get this kind of snowfall in Tennessee much anymore,
so you savor every moment of it. This picture was taken from
the cemetary walking back up the hill toward our house. Love
the sunburst and the shadows on the snow.

Random Snow Scenes


I took tons of photos during our recent snowfall. Here
are a few scenes around my backyard.
