I Heart Snow!


I know many of you out there don't agree with my sentiment towards snow. Yeah, it can be a huge pain in the ass and cause all sorts of traffic and commuting issues, but I've always been able to avoid that and therefore my love of snow is still very much intact! It has the ability to make the mundane magical and the beautiful magnificent. I more or less embody an overly excited 5-year-old when there is snow on the ground. And as a true Oregonian speaking, the fact that there has been a significant accumulation of snow on the ground over the last week with more continually being added blows my little mind. Oh and in our city the self-proclaimed "most famous Christmas market in Germany" also opened on exactly the same day this snow frenzy began.

I'm. loving. it.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I've been out with the camera again. Most of these pictures are from Monday. We have quite a bit more snow now, but you'll get the idea.
