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:

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.
A Snowy Day in Eagle Creek Park
I awoke this past Wednesday to a winter wonderland outside my window. I was almost late to school due to 1.) clearing the snow off my car (it always takes longer than I anticipate) and 2.) taking pictures of the snow covered trees in my apartment parking lot. After work, my sister-in-law called me after driving through the local Eagle Creek Park to let me know that it was breathtaking. I was so glad that I had brought my camera along that day! I headed over her way and we jumped in the car to explore. I think the photos speak for themselves. Enjoy!
And a bonus pic of me, compliments of my sister-in-law’s wonderful composition skills. 🙂
Job 37:5-7 (ESV)
he does great things that we cannot comprehend.
6 For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth,’
likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour.
7 He seals up the hand of every man,
that all men whom he made may know it.
