The First Snowfall 2

Every year when it snows for the first time and the landscape is covered in this magnificent blanket of white I am amazed at how different things can look. Almost nothing else can compare to this as mother nature paints the ground white and finishes its work of art with small dabs of snow in trees, on top on fences and in amongst everything else. Then the final autumn leave fall and the sun pokes out form behind the storm and yes it is spectacular. As the winter season continues the landscape changes even more and that once quite distinguishable intersection is now indistinguishable and you are in a quite a different place. I guess that is the beauty of living in a place where the 4 season are so varied, but more on this later...
