Into the Wintery Woods

Snow, snow go away,
Come again another day.
If you don't, I don't care.
I may become a polar bear.
ROAR!

My world has been very white and cold and cagey feeling lately. I've had the kids home now for 5 days. It was a 4 day weekend and today is a snow day. My patience is running thin.

We are actually having a pretty good day considering. I made an awesome breakfast and lunch, we sledded, played games, read and I even cleaned a couple bathrooms and vacuumed and I solved a problem. Not too shabby, and I still have hours left of day to go.

Hope that you all are doing well. And please somebody, show me some color (and send some my way:).

Red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo, violet! Sending colour to you! It sounds a great day in your winters wonderland!

[Paula W]

On a similar theme to Maggiemae, Red and yellow and pink and green, orange and purple and blue, I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too!!!! Believe me you are lucky you can't hear me!! It may be white to you and you may be a bit fed up with it but it looks so pretty! @maggiemae

Right there with you. 3 day weekend followed by one home sick today followed by early dismissal and likely a snow day tomorrow. And a head cold on top of all that.

Color of the day here is white.

[Alison Tomlin]

I'll have some of it! Would love to see it sitting on the branches like this. No sign of it here this winter yet.

[Simply Amanda]

@fueast Passing it on. So over it. This is only my second snowy winter and it has been loaded with snow. It's fun sometimes, but I need some warmth.

[Jo]

Sorry to tell you but a pic like this brings a smile to my face as sadly the UK doesn't really get to enjoy much snow so I look at this rather longingly. Hope it eases up soon, hang in there.

[Issi Bannerman]

Lovely Amanda. I like the way you've filled the frame with all the small branches and snow. Nice. FAV.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Brrr! Very chilly looking. Too chilly for me!

[Leslie]

It was so nice here yesterday and now your picture could be out my window right now...

[Sharon Lee]

Lovely capture... So crisp

[Rachel Hope]

Beautiful capture!

[Cathy]

A lovely winter image, like the hint of color in the dried leaves still clinging to the trees. Hope the cabin fever soon passes. :)

[Gerry]

fav very picturesque photo

[Cheri]

Lovely shot - we have not had sow yet this year. Sending some color to you!

[Milanie]

Really nice shot - notice that your last few days have been lacking color - would love some of your snow - but just for a day! All I'm seeing is brown. Beautiful detail here.

[Rachel Withey]

I'll have the snow. We just have lots, and lots of grey

[Meg]

[Danny G.]

[Siw Aina Stromoy]

Hehe, I quess this is not the time to tell you that I would do anything for a bit of snow ;) Nice capture

[Simply Amanda]

@siwainastromoy Here...take it! I just tried to go out and got my fingers numb and burning trying to chip the ice from my windshield.:) I'm happy to pass it on!

[Siw Aina Stromoy]

Send it to Norway, we`re glad to have it ;)

[Carly]

At the snow is pretty :)

[Tony]

beautiful capture and I want a selfie when you become that polar bear.
My image today has lots of warm colour, you're welcome to all of it.

[KWind]

Pretty shot! I find the snow beautiful but I can appreciate your need for colour.

[👑 AnaZad]

Beautiful capture, Amanda. You are funny... I'm sure you are tired of the snow.

[Kev]

That looks truly cold... Great capture Amanda.

[Alexandra DG]

and I crave for some snow as it's a strange warm & snowless winter here ... Sending you my "summer in a cup", hope it helps :)

[Tara]

out here in the west we would love to have your snow!! please send our way.....nice capture!

[Katie]

At least you still have pretty tree-sticking snow!

[Ross Walker]

Actually, I like the subtle touch of color in this white matrix. We need more snow here!

[Suse♡]

So beautiful, so winterly and dreamy

[Timothy]

very nice

[Taffy]

Sounds like you had a great day -- despite it being day #5 of family time! And the photo is beautiful!!

[Cindy]

Beautiful shot!

[Arefin]

so beautiful! love all the whites and great framing!

[Rachel]

I know that snowis not always greatto deal with but still it is so beautiful! great shot

[Marloes]

The branches make a beautiful line comp!

[Lisa Pouncy]

The problem is it looks so beautiful but when you're isolated it can become a bit claustrophobic xx

[Vijay]

fabulous wintery shot!! looks cold but beautiful!!

[Darlene]

What a beautiful shot, Amanda. You could come back here. It has been about 30 in the mornings and 73 in the afternoons and blue skies but talking about brown land. Wow. So dry here. I am not one for the cold and actually enjoying the warm while we have it, which is for at least another 7 days and maybe till April 30. Yikes!! Enjoy your kids and family time.

[Kathy A]

Beautiful shot. I can only image what that sort of cold must be like.

[Alice Burghart]

Wonderful image of those wintery trees with a hint of color. fav

[Kitti Nelson]

I know how stifling it can be to feel trapped - but this image is a magical capture of Narnian winter loveliness! - fav
