I woke up this morning to 8" of snow on my car and truck. The driveway was well covered and I shoveled it off. It was still dark when I was ready to go to work but managed this shot of my house.

I saw this Cardinal sitting out and enjoying the weather. It looks like a healthy bird.

I was able to capture the little bush in front of the house at noon.

Check out what I thought was an appropriate photo of a Christmas Tree Farm with the trees decorated on white.

The bench at work was well covered with snow.

The Canadian Geese seem to be bedded in for the night.

The Mallard Ducks and Canadian Geese seem to be enjoying a swim in the middle of a snow storm before bedding down.

We are supposed to get three more inches tonight with no end in sight. As I said to a friend today, it looks like we are heading for a White Thanksgiving. Wait a minute, that certainly doesn't sound right.
Very beautiful fishing guy. but even here in the west I am not ready for winter...yet>> thanks for sharing and stay warm
ReplyDeleteYou live in Ohio....I live in Connecticut...this is what I get in a day or two??? It's beautiful, tho. That cardinal looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt's winter here as well but it's normal for this area. I was thinking... snow for Thanksgiving??? Huh? Ohhh.... I forgot the American Thanksgiving... we celebrated ours last month! I feel like it's Christmas time already when you still have another holiday yet in there!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of Turkey in a short time before Christmas. Or do you have a ham for your Thanksgiving?
Enjoy the snow and keep warm! =)

You got snow! Well, we barely get snow here in Southeast Missouri, but if we do... I'll be SURE to take photos to post!
ReplyDeleteYour cardinal looks lovely in the snow! I love the snow so your photos were a treat for me!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is starting early this year.
ReplyDeleteThe saying is...
If it comes in like a lion, it'll go out like a lamb.
We'll see.
Great snowy pictures, FG!!
Glad it is you instead of me.
ReplyDeleteWOW...that's quite a lot of snow for one night. Beautiful series. My pick of this series is the image of your beautiful home...Thomas
ReplyDeleteOh I am SO jealous!!!! I am a southern girl who LOVES snow.. My hubby was raised in northern Indiana---and had his share growing up. SO--he prefers NO snow... Beautiful pictures!!!!
ReplyDeleteShoveling already! One of the perks of living down wind from the great lakes. a few of those flakes blew all the way here - none on the ground to shovel though.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh you guys are getting hit early arn't you? We are suppose to get snow in the mountains by the end of the week, at least that is what Mt Bachelor is praying for so they can open by Thanksgiving weekend.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful shots
Ummm.. this IS White!
ReplyDeletewow keep that snow up there... it is in the LOW 20's here and I dont do cold well at all...
ReplyDeleteI went to the my world link to try to visit everyones pages and there are NO links there... HELP i want to see everyones posts...sniff sniff
Snow already!? looks very nice!
ReplyDeleteA lot of snow, Fishing Guy!
ReplyDeleteWonderful images!
I like so much when the snow falls in large flakes! :)
good snaps. like the 1st one more
ReplyDeleteI like to see snow, you captured very well, brrrrrrrrr! It's 28 here now, don't know what my plants look like.
ReplyDeleteSnow, snow! We just had a few flakes. Love your red cardinal. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteGood to see the changing in nature.
ReplyDeleteMy be we can cool down the earth a little bit.
Tom- I miss and don't miss the Lake Erie snow machine now that I live here in Columbus. We received a dusting of snow- and it has been way too cold. But nothing like you received!
ReplyDeleteTom
Wow...8" already and it isn't even Thanksgiving. I hope we don't get any until January. Great shots of the geese in the field...I've never seen them sitting in the snow! Cardinals are the cheerful spot of winter, for sure. I would love to get a photo when there are a dozen deocrating my little tree, but they spook so easily and I can't shoot from far enough away inside.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo's. Freshly fallen is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Take care AND keep warm!!
Lovely! Oh, how I miss the snow!
ReplyDeleteLiving in southern Georgia.... the chances of seeing that kind of snow is pretty rare.
Blessings!

Beautiful pics but they send a chill this way. Just a few dusting here in Minn. so far. Cold and windy though.
ReplyDeleteStunning little bird, FG. Snow makes such a good background for photography. Gone are the days when we got snow here in England! if we get any it lasts just for a day or two. I used to enjoy a winter wonderland at Xmas, it was all very dickensian.
ReplyDeleteNice picture. I like natural things
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to add one thing... your photo of the cardinal in the snow reminds me sooo much of my grandmother - she loved cardinals! I sure miss her!
ReplyDeleteFabulous pictures. I especially loved the cardinal. I'm glad it's you who has the snow. I'm not ready for any yet.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! And I'm jealous of your snow-we only got a few flurries.
ReplyDeleteWow - some snow Fishing Guy, beautiful to see, but not to be out init.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and kind comments on my Lily.
WOW 8" already must be nice. we have only had a couple dusting down here in lower Colorado.
ReplyDeleteYou got about six more than we did.
ReplyDeleteLove the look and mood of the last photo.
FG,
ReplyDeleteBrrrr, your pictures are beautiful and so lovely with all that white stuff...but I'm having a difficult time with these 20 degree days in November. I miss my hours our and about with my camera!!
That last picture looks like it started snowing again! Keep warm!
Beautiful! I wish it was doing that in Tennessee

have a nice day, keep writing
Beautiful photos FG..I must have been hard leaving your cosy home that morning! Love the red cardinal against the white backdrop..well done! :D
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot of snow. But you are in northeast Ohio where you get that Lake Eire snow effect---something like Buffalo, NY.
ReplyDeleteMy closest friends from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio were all from the Cleveland area: Euclid, Parma, Willoughby,etc. I was always thankful that my folks lived in southwest Ohio where you get a lot less snow. I remember one year my Miami roomie never made it home for Thanksgiving. She was stuck in a snowdrift somewhere on a bus and wearing the same skirt and sweater all weekend! LOL!
Your cardinal looks pretty.
Don't get stuck in a snow drift. Take care.
Oh, that last shot is wonderful! I like the others as well, but it is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI have a cardinal that stays in my yard to remind me there is beauty in everything!
ReplyDeleteWe have had a lot of snow these days here as well. I like it :-)
ReplyDeleteNice photos.
