This picture was taken in my back yard a couple of years ago. I can't think of a better description of silence than the first snow. The first step out into fresh fallen snow is magical. It seems the whole earth is blanketed in silence and awe. As the sun appears, the snow glitters and shimmers from it's reflection. It's so pure. No footsteps, no marks. Just a billion tiny snowflakes heaped upon each other bringing with them.., quiet, stillness, beauty, and peace.
Last year we had a very dry winter. No snow! This summer has been extremely hot and dry. But... there may be some hope on the horizon. Weather forecast calls for cold temps and snow a couple of days this week. I'm praying for a snow-filled winter season. Snow, snow, snow!
lovely pic and quote! I love your background; it reminds me of scrapbook paper I've use in some of my photo scrapbooks.

ReplyDeleteYou're so right! That first snow is always so magical and peaceful looking. It makes everything looks like a wonderland. And then we have to get in the car and drive in it....... Gorgeous shot!
ReplyDeleteI agree--the first snow is always the best. And I'm with you--heres to snow and more snow! We sure need it. Love your picture.
