The thing I like best about
Winter is how
Wonderful it looks before the snow has had a chance to melt, how lovely it looks before the sanding trucks and snowplows, and the householders with shovels and snowblowers get out there to mess it all up. It looks particularly lovely on evergreen trees.
The evergreen in the bottom photo (taken after dark, with a flash) is a spreading juniper, three of which are slowly taking over the boulevard between our house and the road. In the photo below, you might just be able to see the outline of my left arm and leg, made when I took a tumble into the snow, and the
Worst of my fall was broken by one of the big spreading junipers. I don't go out
Walking by myself very much any more, and you can see
Why.

I remember singing that song at an elementary Christmas concert. I'm wondering now if we get snow whether Tegan will like it as much as water...I bet she will.

I've always been partial to your posts, especially following the theme so well.

I'm glad the juniper helped break your fall, plus a softer landing in all that snow. Even so, it was lucky you didn't hurt yourself. - Margy
Great photos, Kay. Thank goodness though boughs and snow were there to break your fall. Have a wonderful Christmas season!
You have me humming that song now, Kay! I Worry about you falling although you say the Worst was broken by the boughs and snow. Take care, my dear friend (((Hugs))) Jo
Aww … sorry you had a fall, Kay. But what a way to make a snow angel. :)

Bbrrrrr... but beautiful!! Glad the juniper spread its arms for you... YAM xx
When the sky is blue, I also like snow on the trees (but not on the streets, lol)
Yikes! Don't be falling, Kay!
The photo looks to me like your booted foot is still in there under the snow. Are you sure you got out completely? We had a very mild Vancouver Island day today when I was out in my sweatshirt bringing in wood...........I had the grace to appreciate it! Though I agree the snow is BEAUTIFUL if one doesnt have to go outdoors!
argh, you okay? love this ruminating despite your fall, Kay.
I fell in the snow, too. The tree branches are hidden, and covered in snow. I'm happy that the snow cushions the falls. You be careful!
