Wednesday Walk
It was a cold and windy night. No! It really was! Although this was morning, it was pretty dark. I can see it coming down like a torrential rainstorm. Except for snow. You know life is good when it starts coming down faster than that.
It looks the same everywhere that I walk. Trees are laden with the weight of the snow and ponds everywhere in the neighborhood, waiting to be skated on. That will never happen, not now or anytime soon. I have never seen it get cold enough to freeze the water.
I admit that I do miss ice skating and have only been to an ice rink to skate in recent years. I guess I need to go further North one of these winters. Instead of the islands.
And just like that, this walk is over.
Flowers. There must always be flowers to color my world.

On the shoulders of desire
Crossing the line
Made in the sand
Playing my cards, one at a time
Until there are none and the day is done

I held an atlas in my lap
Ran my fingers across the whole world
And whispered,
"Where does it hurt?"
It answered,
"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"
Oh of course it was not just in your neck of the woods. Pfft welcome to my world! We got the snow and then some freezing rain that put a shiny glaze on the surface of the snow! Oh the
miseryjoys of winter! Lovely shots!Thank you for the words, even though they were glacial. ;)
The snow was really beautiful, right until the sleet covered it, and then rain and then snow and then it froze and the next morning, it was mostly gone. Then the sun came out and took the rest away... Camelot awaits you!
It is calling your name...
Can you hear it??? Oh, no!! That must be the sea calling your name~
!tip
Pfft it was the best I could do on my phone LOL
Oh I hear it alright! You may as well consider me on my way! Camelot first, then the sea. Oh yes the fun of it all will be too much!
Did you know some people only use their phones? LOL
Oh, where to hide?? I can feel your aura already!!!
Hide? Pfft I am coming to all those neighbor picnics and house parties. Oh yeah, it gonna be great! Just like on Weekend at Bernies

We have a real springtime weather here in Annecy for two weeks, we begin to take habits that will be hard to leave if ever it would come winter and snow again ! 😄
True!!! My snow lasted one day, then spring. Today is beautiful and it would be hard to go back to winter now, although March is always a tricky month with the weather for us.
Feast or famine!

Looks like a serious snow storm - no wonder you got out of town! Good move! Loved the photos :-)
Oh, you know that I don't do winter well! I love the Four Seasons but they can take winter and put it you know where. In that box oh, that's where!
I actually have scheduled my vacations for when there's going to be bad weather something years. This year it was scheduled ahead of time and I just got lucky! Thank you, as always for the words!

I didn't think it snowed in DC that really looks cold and miserable but great on photo but did you say it only happens for a couple days or so ??
It generally only snows one-time coronated to in the Washington DC area. So that makes it a lot easier to live with even when it does snow, it usually disappears within a day or two.
I know! The struggle is real!
!tip
Well that would be nice just to see snow for 2 to 3 days i could handle that period of time without freaking out ....lol :)

Thank you @dswigle and @tipU :)
A snowy walk for you! Beautiful photos. Has it all melted yet? !Tip
It melted the very next day! Can you believe that? It rained, iced and sleeted. Then the sun came out and the temperature went up 35 degrees and it melted.
Life is good. :) It can snow every day if it does that.
I am waiting impatiently for the day that we have a nice melt! It is not going to happen this week though. Below-zero temps again.
We have had a couple of flakes fall today but tonight we may get some but only an inch hopefully it doesnt all turn to ice , and I always forget to put my wipers up, including this morning so I hope the snow does not come early :)
Beautiful shots even though I am at the stage of hating winter
PS I may have found a way to not have to wait for my camera i forgot I hadn’t taken a payout from smugmug for my photo. Sales for a while :)
Outstanding!!!! Thank you Smugmug! I am now glad you waited to hit that order button! Good things come to those that wait, even if it is your money.
I heard it was snowing there, all my people cry about the snow that they are still getting. Ugh! Another person who doesn't do the windshield wipers! Obviously, you haven't had to sit for an hour waiting for them to unthaw many times. LOL
I hear you in winter, although I cannot complain. We hardly have any and this went away the next day!
!tip
Thanks for the tip 😎
And no I have been through the long wait fir them to thaw and I still forget to do it 😂
I to shouldn’t complain we have glad it so easy compared to many others without a doubt

We are having below zero weather.. no way to take a walk.
Beautiful photos.. lovely
Oh, wow! You win!!! This was last week when I got home AND two days later it was 70! Now today is only in the 50's but I assure you that I am not complaining when I see what everyone else is having.
Yikes!!
Thank you for the words and I hope your weather gets warmer!!!
!tip
thanks for the tip and hoping the weather gets warmer.. not for a while.. with the weather on top of the snow makes for a tough situation..the roads are crazy.

Winter sure makes you appreciate summer :-)
I know!!! Right??? Thank goodness it was here one day and literally gone the next. I still like the four seasons, but, am glad that winter isn't all of them.
I totally adore you snow photos. Something magical and peaceful about being outside when it is snowing SO hard.
It's so beautiful when it does snow and I am in agreement with you that there is something so magical about fluffy flakes descending from the sky. I'm also glad that we don't have an abundant amount of winter weather, but it is nice to have four seasons.

Beautiful and quiet walk amidst the unceasing snow fall. Time to be inside by the fire place, just having a shirt hibernation from the cold!

That was last week! This week is spring-like and nice warm weather! But, yes! The fireplace is the way to go when it is cold outside!
I agree!

Thanks so much for the tip. Glad to hear that spring has arrived! It’s time to have warm sunshine, blue sky and spring flowers.
Loving thoughts and warm hugs are all around you! Far away twinkles of loving stream gently flow to fill all corners of your days and nights! The guardian angels watch over you!
