We've been getting lots of snow lately. On Saturday, we got 9 inches! Sunday morning when I went to work it was 17 below 0. The only saving grace to this weather is how pretty everything looks.
I took a drive around our block and took some pictures out the window, to show you what it looks like here in West Michigan.

I love seeing the branches all covered in white.
This gravel road is really pretty, but not real nice to drive on!
Do you see the leaves on this tree still hanging on, even in the snow?
I think each tree has it's own special beauty in each season. I love the snow on the pine trees, but I also love the delicate lacy look of the snow on the branches of the other trees.
And we've made it back home. My driveway is just beyond the pine tree on the left. Hope you enjoyed the drive!
What a pretty drive! I think every type of tree and shrub looks pretty with fresh snow on it. Then after I see it, I wish it would melt. LOL!
ReplyDeleteSo delicately covered with the icing sugar! Looks great - but ask me if I know how horrible driving is in this stuff! - Up here, it's going to be above 0 all week - yay!!!
ReplyDelete17 below? Oh my. I have been complaining about our negative 3 today... I better get my act together. You are so right though. It sure is pretty. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteSo thankful you made it back home safely. They say we are going to get lots of rain instead of snow, this time. I am probably the only person in my state that would rather have snow..lol!

Looks way too cold for me. What a beautiful road...through a photo...tho!! And your home must be situated is a great area of the town....hidden amongst the wooded forest. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to drive out your way to get some winter pics. Lindsey made a joke out of my little pictures because they included the electrical wires. Hey, I was on my front porch and just shot a couple pics. Argh, I just don't have the talent that you two have. Awesome photos Mari! You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteThat was a nice drive! There is beauty in every season of Michigan and we get to enjoy every one of them. I love how you word things.
ReplyDelete17 below!! That just gave me a cold shiver! I honestly couldn't imagine going out in 17 below zero. I'd be home in my pj's all day!
ReplyDeleteAs cold as it is, no doubt about it, it is beautiful to look at.
love the pics..wish i could print them out..
