the weather with you









we finally saw real snow here today - snow that lasted beyond the morning; tender, tireless snow that flurried and settled so splendidly that delays and cold feet ceased to matter.
this old city, touched by winter, feels timeless, and almost surrealistically authentic.
the staid brickwork, the graceful gables and the tiled roofs, the cobblestones, the mullioned windows, the drawbridges, the bicycles: they are picture-postcard-pretty
at any time, but now, at season's end, and powdered pristinely white, they are
simply enchanting.

    We got more snow as well today! Though, this event is not so special or rare by this point in the winter. *sigh*

    Nice pictures. We had some too. It was almost gone when I went home, but is being replenished as we speak.

    Believe it or not, it's been flurrying all day in Nashville, Tenneesee -- quite rare.
    I'm just getting back to work, back to life, from my vacation, but you'll be hearing from me soon Lynn.

    I like how the wires in this overlap the archway and seem like it's part of it.

    it's intriguing that by a simple 'move' of nature all at once our world can look so much 'softer'
    in a short time this images will look surreal lynn

    lovely pictures! Especially the one of the bike.
    My town has transformed into a snowy heaven too. Even my backyard looks like this sugar white world. Kids playing in the snow in front of my house and for once I don't mind their screams. I get mellow when it snows I guess.
    Time for hot tea and cinnammon treats!

    very moody images, as always!
    winter is still staying here, but watching the colors in your photos is like getting aware of the sound of some birds, that can already be heard here and there in the parks...

    I love the frosty snow coating the bike, like powdered sugar...this could be served up in your favorite baker's shop. All lovely photos, Lynn.
