west virginia moments. part one
growing up in portugal, i didn’t grow up with snow
the first time i saw snow was when i was fourteen and we had just moved to new jersey
being able to raise Lily not only at the beach but also in the most beautiful winter wonderland fills my heart with such happiness
seriously, it’s the most wonderful feeling
i took a lot of pictures during our two week stay in west virginia
not only because we were with family and it was christmas but also because it was a winter wonderland
and then once the snow melted away, the winter light and landscape was just as beautiful
i always take a lot of pictures in west virginia actually
that said, i am trying to find the best way to post them on here without over doing it
you should know by now that i am not the best at editing though
anyway, west virginia moments
they were wonderful
as they usually are
this is part one
ps- is everyone else thrown off by what day of the week it is also? it feels like a monday but it’s thursday. i guess that’s good?
sledding. she loves it
not the warmest drink for a snowy winter day but always delicious
a happy birthday card
snowballing
a canoe ride. who says you can’t do the same sports in the winter as you do in the summer?
a cozy spot
snow swinging
snow candy
the dressing of the tree
a snow walk with the most loyal companion
mama foot, Lily foot
rio. amazing
to be continued…

Love it! (And I wish the snow would come back. 12 degrees and bare ground is no fun.)

@Hanna,
i agree. 12 degrees requires snow.

@Katie,
thank you Katie. snow makes for a great backdrop but it is tricky on a sunny day. so much light reflection!
