A Stupendous Snow-covered Day

The day after our last snow storm was a stupendously beautiful day.

It was very cold, but we're adapted to that by now. In the morning, the sun rose upward toward some clouds in the sky. Shyla and I had only about 5 minutes of the reddish sunrise light.

Because it was so cold and the air was still, the trees looked like snow sculptures, with a coating of snow and frost covering them.

It wasn't just the twigs but every part of the trees, as you can see behind Shyla in the next photo.

Then, a bank of clouds swept up a valley in front of the sun. It made a fiery sight.

I couldn't take my eyes off of it because it looked surreal.
Although life is tougher in the winter with the frigid air and snow, it's an incredibly beautiful season.

  4. The snow looks lovely! The snow on branch almost looks like buds in the spring though I know we have a long way to go for that.

  14. We would have a hard time taking our eyes off that beautiful sun rise too! Mother earth painted in glorious colors. I hope you and shyla stay warm, in those cold mornings.
    The trees and world are so majestic.
