Winter Wonderlands

I’m sure most of you have had your fill of snow pictures over the last couple days, but I had to find something productive to do with my snow day home from teaching… so here’s my blog post of snow pictures!  🙂  Since Thanksgiving, I’ve had my share of snowy days in both Pennsylvania and Indiana.  Yesterday was a one-of-a-kind day.  Over 11 inches fell in one day here in Indianapolis before the arctic chill set in.  I took a walk over near the White River to enjoy the tree-lined snowy roads and get some photos.  It felt so strange to be all alone on these city streets.  I couldn’t help but marvel at how beautiful it all was.  God made a lot of beauty in this world.  I enjoyed the beauty yesterday and today I’m enjoying (and feeling very grateful for) the invention of electricity and heat to keep me warm inside in this -9 degree weather!  In stark contrast to my last blog post, I give you the recent winter wonderlands I’ve experienced:

A snowy day in Western PA

My parents’ backyard in PA in the new year.

Love the shimmery snow.

On my drive out of town on the road I grew up on.

Western Pennsylvania is such a beautiful place. 🙂

Back in Indianapolis- The infamous snow of January 5. Here is a view from my patio in the midst of it all.

Walking toward the river.

A hill! Hard to come by here in Indy.

A tree canopy- going closer to the river.

One of my favorites from the day.

The White River- I have to say it wasn’t quite as picturesque as I’d imagined, but beautiful to see, nonetheless.

The trek back to my place

I was drenched with snow by this point.

I obviously couldn’t get enough of these tree-lined roads. They’re one of my favorite things.

And one last shot with a pop of color.
