Weekly Winners – Snow in (almost all) B&W

The first fall of snow is not only an event, it’s a magical event. ~Anonymous

The first real snowfall found me out on a lovely peaceful photo walk. I had so many great pics I had a hard time narrowing them down!

Abandonment Revisited
*I took a pic of this silo back in the fall. Got another shot today!
Kindness is like snow, it beautifies everything it covers. ~Anonymous

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas
“There is nothing in the world more beautiful than the forest clothed to its very hollows in snow. It is the still ecstasy of nature, wherein every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed, every intricacy of twig, is clad with radiance.” ~William Sharp

True Love Heart
Seek Love in the pity of others’ woe,
In the gentle relief of another’s care,
In the darkness of night and winter’s snow,
In the naked and outcast, seek Love there!
~William Blake

Snow Hammock
So comes snow after fire, even dragons have their ending. ~J.R.R. Tolkien

Fences will not bind me
Nature chose for a tool, not the earthquake or lightning to rend and split asunder, not the stormy torrent or eroding rain, but the tender snow-flowers noiselessly falling through unnumbered centuries. ~John Muir

Shrouded Beauty
Courage is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go; it is the fragile blossom that opens in the snow. ~Alice M. Swaim

Contrast
The snow itself is lonely or, if you prefer, self-sufficient. There is no other time when the whole world seems composed of one thing and one thing only. ~Joseph Wood Krutch

Buried Playtime
Nature has no mercy at all. Nature says “I’m going to snow. If you have on a bikini and no snow shoes, that’s tough. I am going to snow anyway.” ~Maya Angelou

Lines
There is still vitality under the winter snow, even though to the casual eye it seems to be dead. ~Agnes Sligh Turnbull

When it snows, you have two choices: shovel or make snow angels. ~Unknown

Due to illness and stress my camera barely saw the light of day this week. To the point that I only have a few pictures and one of them was technically taken BEFORE this week, but I missed it on last weeks WW’s.

*These were HER gloves. I just love them still.

We had a few gorgeous days this week. My parents dog arrived on Thursday (we’re dogsitting while they are on a cruise)…and Angel needs to get as much exercise as possible to try to build up her lung stamina o we went for a lovely walk and I was smart enough to take my camera. These are all of my absolute favorites except 1. That one will appear on Tuesday for my Flip Side pictures :D.

*My yarn arrived much faster than expected. My fingers will be very busy in the coming weeks.

In case you missed it, I’m asking you to ask me questions. No matter how silly or serious I plan on answering them here during NaBlo.  You don’t even have to read the post they request is attached to, just ask me your questions HERE (or in your comments to this post is fine too!!)!  Thanks!  By the way, you look fabulous today. Did you do something different with your hair?  No?  Ah, you’re just fabulous then.

No real solid theme for this week, so it’s ‘scattered’.

*No idea why I adore this picture & how all that’s in focus is Angel’s hat…but I do adore it.

Gorgeous (& SOOC)
