Snow Day

 

It snowed all last night, and when the sun came up, the trees had been transformed. 

Some of them looked like giant snowflakes. 

Then the wind started blowing the snow off the trees. It seemed to be snowing all over again, except for being blue and sunny. Click to enlarge. 

Nathaniel Hawthorne once wrote, "A few feathery flakes are scattered widely through the air, and hover downward with uncertain flight, now almost alighting on the earth, now whirled again aloft into remote regions of the atmosphere." As if he'd spent the day looking out my windows.

At sunset, some of the treetops were still draped in snow. They lit up wintry pink like this. What a beautiful day!
