First Snow

I must admit, I never ever thought I could get used to snow.  I hate the cold.

But never say never.  Now that we live somewhere where we have 4 seasons, I enjoy every one of them… including the snow.  There is something pristine and innocent about the beauty and cleanness of snow.

It hangs on the trees and coats the ground in white fluffy clumps.  If one is lucky, the first snow of the year coincides with the end of fall… and changing of the colors, yielding an intersection of seasons in all it’s beauty.  Check out my Snow Trees post on kritterspix.com.

Sedona Snow

Weather is our friend.

I remember when I used to travel, I used to complain when the weather wouldn’t be perfect.  No doubt there is something pleasant about a sun shiny day.  But where’s the fun it that.  Adverse weather brings out all sorts of new adventures… people coming in out of the rain looking for shelter, and a friend… animals getting out on a shady cool no shadow day… and us photographers looking for rainbows… or snow… or fog…

We went to Sedona for the weekend… and it snowed.  It’s not often you see snow on the Red Rocks.    It was pretty awesome.        s40A6658_Sd
