I woke up this morning, super excited to see snow on the ground. Even if it wasn’t much, I can’t help but become a little giddy over the first snow of the season. I was especially happy about it because I had been planning on doing a location scout for a photo session I have coming up. I adore road trips. Especially the snowy road trips (as long as it’s not *too* dangerous to drive). There’s something that’s just magical about driving amidst the tall, snow-laden pines…it’s almost as if you’re the only person in the world.
I stopped to scope out a spot I thought might be great for the shoot. And I became totally caught up in how serene, calm and quiet it was. No traffic sounds. No people. Just me. And the snow. And the occasional soft whistle of a bird’s wing through the sky. And the silence. Ohhh, the silence. It was so wonderful. I soaked it up, let it wash through my brain, and became inspired by the landscape. All the tones were muted and soft today. Cool grays and blues. The occasional brown to warm things up. I’m not a landscape photographer by any means, but I was feeling it today. And I thought I’d share what I saw.
And I’m throwing in this one, just because I found it kind of amusing. Polar bear dip anyone?
Cheers!

Love your winter shots! I’m so glad snow is falling back at home too. There are so many inches in Alaska right now! My brain was kind of overloaded upon flying in here. I’ve not become used to all this white and I was scared I’d have to fly home to green instead!
Thanks so much Emily! I hope there’s some snow left here by the time you return. I think we’re supposed to get more tomorrow *crossing fingers*!
Beautiful photography – works of art!
Thanks Carol! It helps to live in a gorgeous place, too! :)
