Winter Wonderland

I haven't updated in a month???? What has happened to the time! It's supposed to slow down in winter time and be nice and cozy and you're supposed to get caught up on everything you don't have time for the other months of the year. Apparently not. But I'm updating right now, so there.

Since it's winter, what would winter be without snow? {At least, here in the Northeast}

evergreen

The Pine Tree State. 

Even though we have beheld winter wind itself around our bodies with its cold, cold air, and we have seen the snowflakes flutter past our noses to the ground, one thing reminds us that one day, we will see the ground again. 

The evergreen. 

It stands tall in most yards around here, it is the big brother and sister of the forest, standing high above the rest of the trees, almost as a bodyguard, protecting the deciduous forests during the most brutal season of all- winter. 

And so I have decided to make it the foremost subject of my latest post here. 

Maybe some on deciduous trees next time :) 

hey kids..

Watch out where you put your snowman.

Like the picture shows, Batman just can't resist a nice roundhouse kick to a nice icy snow face.

Where was Batman when the Doctor needed him??

unexpected wonders

Yesterday I decided to take the morning off and sleep in. I was excited, since this meant staying in my jammies all morning and editing some engagement pictures I had taken the day before for two of my friends. Sounds like a great morning.

At 8:23, my mom came into my bedroom. Here's the conversation:

Mom: "Audrey, sorry to wake you up."

Me: GRUNT. (I hate waking up in the morning)

Mom: (continues unfazed) "Did you make a design in the driveway?"

Me: "What????"

Now I was awake. I didn't really understand what she was saying....what was I supposed to answer with? Yes, Ma, I was in the driveway at midnight making "designs", because that's what I do? Because I don't. I think I answered no, and looked at her like she was crazy.

Mom: "Well, someone drew two hearts in the driveway, and there's not any footprints or anything near them!"

NOW my curiosity was peaked. I sprang up out of bed, pulled on some jeans and grabbed my camera.

Turns out, someone just turned around in the driveway. But look at the results! They are pretty amazing!

oldies but goodies

so i'm publishing an old one today. we were just starting to see spring here (i thought i saw some crocuses poking out of the earth the other day!) when we got a few storms. granted, it's still not been much of a winter (although i heard they got 20 inches of white stuff last week in Fort Kent, ME), but i thought, nonetheless, that i would share a spring-y picture with you all today. hope you enjoy it! it's not the best, but, still, it's more summer than we're going to see in a while. so go ahead, live vicariously through this blog. :)

in the snow!

it snowed yesterday. then rained today. my mom called me at seven thirty on the dot this morning and told me to bring my camera out today, because it was "so pretty outside." i muttered, "ok," and went back to sleep until my alarm went off ten minutes later.

when i actually went outside, i was disappointed because the day was gray. and it wasn't "so pretty" out, so far, ten minutes into my commute.

but when you look closer at your surroundings, you might just be amazed.

and your day might turn into something better than you thought it would.
