With about 4.5 inches of snow it goes without saying that we had a fun day. With all the little kids' excited jabbering at 6:00, I got up earlier than usual. There were plenty of picture opportunities and I took quite a few--some with a future painting in mind. This evening I remembered a certain place that would probably look cool in the snow, and ran up through the woods in shorts, a t-shirt and my coyboy hat with the camera. Halfway there I realized that, not only was I stupid to venture outside in summer clothes, but I'd forgotten the card for the camera.
There were plenty of snow ball wars, and Daniel and the other kids made a snow castle like the witch's in Narnia. Oh, and we also tried firecrackers, smokebombs and Jumping Jacks inside snow volcanoes--didn't work very well.
Since when have we had snow in March? Pretty unexpected, but definitely a welcome surprise. :)

Haha, *gasp* that was too funny about you forgetting the camera card; I can just see it! :D The snow pictures are so beautiful! It doesn't look anything like that over here; it's melted. Btw, your house looks like a Thomas Kinkade painting!
Hey Benj, you know that third pic from the top--the one with the snow on the branches would make an awesome watercolor using Mr. Baughman's method. You could make the sun coming from behind, maybe a sunrise.... If you used the right blue I think it would turn out really nice.
You're right, that would be cool. I really like how that pic turned out. Wish I could have found some icicles--I've always wanted to try my hand at something transparent.
So not fair you got all that snow! Could you ship us some Priority Mail next time it snows up there? :)
Pictures of snow in the Northwest are so much fun to take!
Makes me wish I was taking those pics with my own camera...:( (it's Dad's)
Pete, aren't you guys are moving to Michigan? If anything we'll be asking you to send a few inches our way! :)
