On Sunday morning, the snow came down in big frosty flakes:
White blanketed the neighbor's horses:
Boss pawed for grass:
Mischief (wisely) hung out in the shed and munched hay:
Daisy frolicked (as she always does):
The bird feeder was in demand:
One day later, sun sparkles on the pasture, and the ice-encased trees wink at the clearing sky:
You can even make frozen tundra look appealing! I was thinking more along the lines of 'ice encrusted driveway' this morning with regards to the snow and here you are making it look delicious! Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteWow Janie.. That's alot of snow!!!! Please send some of it our way!!! I want JUST a little---so Santa can have some slick traction when he lands his sleigh on our roof on Christmas Eve.... ha
ReplyDeleteGuess your visits to the higher elevations are over 'til spring, huh????
Hugs,
Betsy
Very beautiful! Thanks for sharing and letting those of us who yearn for snow filled winters have a glimpse of how winters are meant to be.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell I miss living where snow storms are an accepted thing?
Looks beautiful in the sunshine. Our forecast says there is the POSSIBILITY of a LITTLE snow later in the week--here a white Christmas is the exception rather than the rule.
ReplyDeletegreat story--it was a pretty Sunday wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteOne word - cold!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a lot of snow! Brrr! The last picture is my favorite...it's such a beautiful wintery scene with a lovely blue sky and the horses just add to the beauty. I didn't even see the white horse at first...it blends in with the snow. lol
ReplyDeleteI love this series of photos, and the fun title. The last shot is especially beautiful. Snow transforms everyting....hope we get some for Christmas...
ReplyDeleteBrrrr!! And what a coincidence, I just finished eating a bowl of frosted flakes. :)
ReplyDeleteJanie...those are beautiful photos...looks very cold...glad I'm here in Texas..
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing the wonderful world.
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
Looks like you got more than we did. Ours is melting today. Probably just in time for the next one. Love the photos. Daisy seems to know what to do with snow--PLAY!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are so beautiful!!!!! Do you think the horses feel the cold as much as we do??? If so, I would be in trouble...for I would try to bring them inside!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures Janie!
The snow looks beautiful coming down, but I don't think I'll join Daisy and frolic in it. Your last picture is a gorgeous winter scene.
ReplyDeleteBrrrrr! Great photos, but I got cold just looking at them!!! Really love the last one...
ReplyDeleteI'm really loving YOUR snow. Just keep it in Utah please! We don't need it here.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.
What fantastic shots, Janie! Love seeing Mischief tucked away in the barn and Daisy playing in the snow! And your last shot is totally breathtaking! What a fun visit to your snowy world!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, stay warm and give Daisy and Mischief a hug from Sam, Mojo and me!

Those look like beautiful Christmas cards!! LOVE your title, "Frosted Flakes" ~ you creative girl, you! ♥
ReplyDeleteHi Janie,
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing ice-crystal photo. Mischief looks like a ghost horse in the snow! Seems as though your blue skies are back. I love to watch dogs play in the snow - they seem to go wild in the white stuff!
Snow, snow, snow and more snow! And I love them to bits!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see those fellows living life they are meant to and without a sound of complain heard from their throat!
Fascinating life with different temperament from nature to have its different gloss and beauty seeping out flaky whites to white ground blanket!
these are all such great wintery photos, I can really feel the season in them.
ReplyDeleteLet it snow, let it snow! You keep it down there - but we are getting it here to. Crack out your snowshoes and let your shanks-ponies carry you through it.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful white world but I bet the critters would prefer it a few degrees warmer.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had that much snow. All of ours has melted! Of course, after the holidays, I will be begging for spring bulbs to blue. Never content! Great pics!
ReplyDeletebeautiful images and poetic commentary to embellish!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful. The last photo is especially breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful winter scenes with all your animals in the big snow.
ReplyDeleteYour last photo is a great inspiration for a winter scene painting.
Today we have our first snow too but it is melting already.
Now that's a beautiful way to serve up a scrumptious wintery breakfast. It looks like a winter wonderland, Janie. Your shots are breathtaking, they would make gorgeous Christmas or note cards.
ReplyDeleteYou could do that in your 'spare' time... snicker,snicker ;)
Hug the gang and give Steve a carrot... or the other way around, its completely up to U...
Beautiful! I know it's cold and wet and dangerous - but it's simply stunning. We don't get much snow here in the soft south of England so tend to go misty-eyed when it does fall - and then complain because all the transport systems fail!
ReplyDeleteWow... So much of snow... Wish I could spend a vacation in some snowy part of the world.. :)
ReplyDeleteLooking into the EYES!!! at Savoir-Faire

Ah - lots of magical snow. Wonderful!
ReplyDeletefantastic! lots of snow to play in! those pictures are beautiful..love the horses and dogs !
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness ... looking at your wonderful photos gives new meaning to the phrase 'a blanket of snow' ... it looks COLD but oh so much FUN too ;-)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
What a beautiful winter wonderland... I'm sure it was freezing cold, but you do know how to make it look gorgeous with that camera of yours. I esp love that last shot, the day after. Beautiful beyond words!
