SNOWY NEIGHBORHOOD

I only have a few more snow photos left after this post, until the next snow anyhow.  We are expecting more but I think it will be more sleet and rain from what I was told.   I couldn't help but take ones in this neighborhood when we were driving through.  Everywhere looked so pretty, even with the roads ploughed.
When it snows you have two choices, shovel or make snow angels (or take photos)!

I thought the fir trees looked especially pretty.
Finishing up with a collage.
We are all ready for our company arriving in a few hours (I wrote this on Thursday the 17th).  I will be back on Monday.  

Have a great weekend everyone and as always, thanks for stopping by.

    Oh, so beautiful. I always love snow on fir trees! (and on fence posts, and tree limbs, and just anywhere it gathers, it adds beauty.)

    Hi Linda, I bet you got a lot of snow didn't you? Or did it miss you again? Hope you're all okay out there.

    It looks very pretty especially with the blue skies. All that snow is managed well where you live. Here just a little ice and snow is dangerous in our hilly region. I hope you have a good weekend with your visitors.

      Hello there :) We have a very steep driveway which we have to dig out. It can be treacherous and there are hilly spots around here, but the community does send around a snow plough asap. Very grateful for that. We are having a lovely time with our company, thanks so much :)

    What lovely photos. You have really composed each of the photos so nicely. Isn't snow beautiful. I think I like all the choices -- shoveling as I love play with snow; making fairies and also to take pictures. What's your favorite?

      Thank you KL. My favorite? A nice walk in the snow with a proper pair of no-skid snow boots is my favorite :)

    These are beautiful photographs, and I like the mosaic too.
    Isn't the sky a wonderful blue.

    Hope your weekend has been good and you've had a lovely time with your visitors.
