    #1-  I had a doctor’s appointment scheduled before our drive to Virginia, in December .  The day was snow, ice, and cars off the road, everywhere.  We re-scheduled for January 27, 2009.  I should have known.  More snow and lots of ice.  The above isn’t my first view from the car but it is typical.

    #2- The view of the snow covered evergreens is always a breath taker for me.  I really like snow and how everything has a fresh, clean appearance.  That is, all except where the cars mess and muddy things up.

    #3- I imagine this fella made a few dollars that day.  I love red and his bright red plow brightened the landscape.

    #4- I was thinking, when I saw this combination, the owner of the car may experience a change in the condition of the car if it slides off the hill.

    #5- There have been deaths in the greater Cincinnati area from this Winter storm. Lots of homes lost electricity and the usual business and schools were shut down.  The driver of this truck is taking some much needed comfort to homes, somewhere, I believe the tanks the truck is carrying are propane for cooking.

    #6- Headed home and dropping over one of the hills, a flock of small birds circled close enough to catch them in the photo, as birds, not just a blur.

    #7- On our street, all is right with the world.  The flag is flying and at least one child is out playing in the snow.  It’s nice to know snow still calls to some, for outside activities and fun.
     
    All of these views, compliments of my camera and a necessary drive on a snowy day.

    #8- Here in the house, currently, the window view stays looking pretty much like this …
     
     
    A few of the “dreaded computer problems” for us this week.  Hoping not to be shut down completely but ???
     
    Wishing all of you a great week.  Keep on taking those photos, and 
    thanks always for your comments.

  • You are right , Becca , a touch of red brings a contrast that enjoys the sight in that white blanket. Look at the plower for instance or again this flight of birds above the lights .
     I always liked the picture of skiers with multicolored clothes in the snow .
    However I think of John who drove courageously in those dangerous condtions ( like the one on the hill !! )  Compliments to him . I hope your appointment of the 27 was good .
     Love
    Michel

  • These are all great shots. I really love the flock of birds!  Cute kitty cat in that last one.

  • Neat snowplough. Your photos illustrate the difference between our two countries. I’ve seen a lot of sno pics this week, but yours are very US. An entertaining post – thanks.

  • Thanks for your comment Becca . A round of cutting ? I hope you say some  more . I am worrying .
    Love
    Michel

  • nice shots Becca, i like your idea “through you car window” i would like one of those snow ploughs, not that we have that much snow but it would certainly ensure i got a parking place in town on a saturday!

  • I see you have been busy on the way to the Doctors, which I hope went well for you. My favourite is the last one, Bobby Fischer is luxuriating across the table.

  • You are always so creative with your posts. I love the last view particularly. Your cat looks so peaceful laying there!
