At last – the snow fell as lightly as butterflies
Bringing out the child-like spirits in us all.
It turned the world
Into a snowy poem,
And leaves into fluffy pillows of white.
The magic of the snow is that it
Makes the world a softer place,
A kinder place where dreams can grow.
The Eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them: there ought to be as many for love. — Margaret Atwood

Beautiful snow, wonderful captures and lovely words! I loved our snow — until the city shut down, Seattle doesn’t deal well with snow! Oh, and your beautiful dog looks so happy! I do know he likes the cold since he will swim in icy water by choice!! Hope all of you have a wonderful, snowy, beautiful week!

Beautiful. I especially like your second shot called Snowy Tree. Did you deliberately shoot it in black and white, or is it due to the snowfall washing out all the colors from the frame?
