The First Snow Of The Season - SeasonChallenge #9
Yesterday morning I woke up to see snow outside, the first snow of the season. As I said in my yesterday's post, I went for a walk and to take some photos because I knew the snow won't last. Rain has been already predicted and the weather was so mild that it would have been impossible for the snow not to melt.
I know this park inside out, I know where and what to photograph already. These lovely red berries were still there, partly covered with snow, which makes the photo more enjoyable.
A pine tree covered by snow. These prickly tree branches can hold a snow very well. @horpey, here's a snowy Christmas tree for you, you just have to decorate it :)
This is different kind of pine, with a lot less snow, but it's still my favorite because of the long and thin thorn leaves.
I tried to photograph some snowflakes but it's a pretty hard task when the snow is blowing like crazy. Maybe another time.
Maybe this shot is better. There are a couple of snowflakes on a spider web, what's left of it.
This cute ivy is still green, climbing up. I'm curious to see how much time it can resist the cold.
At the time of posting, this bench is probably covered by water, melted snow, but yesterday looked great, half covered by snow.

Amazing. The snow don't look light and the berries still made it through.
Thank you! I was surprised too to see these berries still in place but not for long.

Thank you! It's snowing now, started an hour ago. In some parts of the country people don't have electricity, it's a disaster. I'm safe though, I live in a protected area.
I'm wondering about Shasta. They were getting dumped on with snow and had lost electricity on and off on Friday. Now today she hasn't posted it all day so I'm wondering if they are without power.
Maybe they have a generator, up there you have to be prepared. Here in an apartment building there's nothing you can do. I hope she's safe.
I'm pretty sure they have a back-up plan. It would be unsafe up there not to have. Do you have a plan if you lost power?
I have some candles 🕯️ but you can't do anything about the heating.
I am lucky that I have a fireplace that runs on natural gas. And so does my kitchen stove. If the power goes out I would loose my water though, because I have a well and a pump that runs off electricity. I do have two 5-gallon containers filled with water in my laundry room for an emergency supply if I would ever need it
My kitchen stove runs on natural gas as well but on the long run its not safe to heat with it.
I like your great work. Thanks @erikah.
Thank you!
