Too Many Snow Pictures!

We've had an incredible snowfall here in the Rain Belt; usually, we might get a little accumulation which dissipates within a day or two of making landfall. And I have to confess, I've been unable to stay indoors when the snow is actually coming down - I spent far too much time outdoors yesterday, wandering around in the snow, and taking photos like a madwoman. It's been decades since we've had such an impressive holiday season. So without further ado, let me post way too many photos of snow in Seattle.

The perfect house for a steampunk Xmas:


Snow globe:


A rock retaining wall for an ugly apartment complex becomes a vision of beauty in its winter coat:


Such fine, powdery snow found its way to the tiniest of places:


I loved these purple berries, with their snow hats on - don't worry, you're not seeing nearly as many berry photos as I took:



What could be look more like the holiday season than snow and ivy? Not much, folks. Here's something reminiscent of the Green Man, and on Solstice:



Snow collects in the coolest places - wrought iron gates, or within the frond of a fern:




Cowen Park - a gathering place for many happy folks anytime it snows up here:





Low-tech sled (an amazon.com box, according to the sled team). The wee laddie inside the box wasn't the least bit disturbed by the extremely temporary nature of his sleigh - he was having fun, and I really wanted a ride in the snow, too:


Gratuitous coffee shot:


If you can't wander around in the snow with your sexy guy, you can at least have a killer cuppa java - and so I did! Thanks, Herkimer on the Ave!



We're supposed to get more snow tonight - and I can't wait! I've got all my winter gear ready!
