I was pretty sure that the snow would all melt away soon enough anyway. Then I woke up this morning to a veritable winter wonderland! We had accumulated 5-6 inches of snow overnight.
Instead of letting it ruin my day, I grabbed my camera and ran out before the sun started burning all the snow off the trees. I got some pretty cool shots.
Here Comes the Sun.
Frosted Pines.
Tweet with Cold Feet.When I went back in the house I was greeted by Jonah who said to me, "Mommy, I was thinking about making a snow angel."
Why not?! I thought. How often do you get to make a snow angel in April?
Jonah had a great time playing outside in the snow the snow this morning. He made two snow angels and went "dashing through the snow".
This evening the snow is almost gone, and they are predicting temperatures in the 70s by Monday. So maybe next week I will post pictures of the boys in shorts! Crazy, huh?

ReplyDeleteas long as I have lived I can't ever remeber it snowing in april here in england.
ReplyDeletegreat photo friday
He looks like a little angel in the snow! You had a much better attitude about snow in April than I would have. And beautiful pictures too!
ReplyDeletethat is a lot of snow for April!
ReplyDeleteI'll say you got some cool shots. Boy, you guys got buried down there, didn't you. We just got dusted (not that I'm rubbing it in).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the focus comment about the Angel Moroni. I actually did take a few of those. I took probably 20 pictures just from that angle, playing with different focuses. Isn't it fun?
ReplyDeleteI know, this weather is just wacky!
ReplyDeleteWow- I am looking at the lake, with the windows open the the palm trees blowing in the breeze......gotta love Florida! (Until the summer atleast!)
ReplyDeletenow that is what I call embracing the weather. great photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, but that is just so very wrong mid-April.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos - stunning!!! April snow is so pretty b/c you just know it won't last. It melts in no time :)
ReplyDeletegreat photos! great attitude too! way to hang in there!
ReplyDeletewonderful sonwground! super shots! I hope the snow has fallen enough on you and will give you several months break!
ReplyDeletesnow in april? where do you live? those shots are spectacular
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely crazy. At this rate, school will be out for summer, and I'll still be bundling my boys in hats and gloves. I long for sunshine and warmth already, winter please quit tormenting me!
ReplyDeleteI loved your ice picture, there's something truly beautiful about a sight like that- kind of like winter's diamond.
I love love love those picturs. The contrast of the white against the blue sky is amazing. I can't believe the weather this year either. It's actually cool down here in FL and we are suppose to have a cold front next week...
ReplyDeleteCrazy if you ask me! :) Love your little snow angel! hehe
Stupid snow but at least you got some great pictures out of it :)
ReplyDeleteThat is some crazy weather! I must say, it looks like the middle of February instead of April. At least you all are making the most of it! : )
ReplyDeleteLove the snow tulip pics! And your son. The way you were looking at it...that you might as well enjoy it, was awesome! Thanks for the reminder to be thankful no matter what the circumstance...snow in April...whodathunkit!
ReplyDeleteWow! What beautiful pictures and such a great opportunity to play in the snow! I really hope my two girls get to experience snow, but since we moved to So Cal we haven't had the chance to go back to my home town of Denver for a winter yet. Soon, I hope!

Oh, I feel for you! I loved in Minnesota for a few years and was sooooo glad to move back to the South!
ReplyDeleteI love your shots! Love the pic of your snow angel!
Lovely pictures! I saw you on my blogher blogroll, and the title caught me because I just posted about our snow too. My kids haven't had a chance to get out in it - too yucky today but they are hoping tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI loved your "Tweet with Cold Feet!" Cute!
ReplyDeleteThe snow is beautiful; praying that spring will bloom in it's fullness soon for you though!
That third shot is INCREDIBLE!! WOW! We certainly didn't get that much, but we did get rain and snow for two straight days on Wednesday and Thursday. Yuck.
ReplyDeleteSounds like our snow in the end of March. A ton fell then immediately melted but the boys loved it!! Love the pic of the bird in the snow covered tree!
