The Snow That Wasn't

I am totally disappointed. Utterly devastated. All weekend long I kept seeing reports of heavy snow that was supposed to happen in my area. Heavy snow in Alabama = two inches. Not exactly blizzard proportions I know but still I went to bed last night expecting to wake up to this glorious scene:

Instead I see this:

 

That is the same patch of trees from three days earlier. Instead of lovely glistening snow we have dead grass, mud and naked trees. What a let down. So, if any of you in the northern part of the US who are tired of snow would like to send me a couple of inches I would be happy to take it.

The Beauty of Nature

Last weekend I had the opportunity to photograph a local spring and walking trail for an upcoming guest post. My nephew tagged along and had a fun time pretending there were dinosaurs and lions hiding in the woods.  I enjoyed seeing how different the areas  looked with the change in foliage.

 

I posted these pictures on my Facebook account and one of my friends remarked she didn't realize our town could be so beautiful. I wish I could take credit for the beauty captured but they are just a copy of the Master's handiwork. Taking a walk with people you love and seeing the beauty of nature is most definitely a finer thing
