First snow! by kiwichick

First snow!

The sun was shining and the first snow of the season came down amid the beautiful autumn trees. Such a magical moment (best viewed large). I felt like a little kid again. And I thought this was fitting for my push challenge of capturing something abstract. My challenge from Sally @salza was to take an abstract shot, be it something from the kitchen drawer or a picture of a building from an unusual angle. Anything as long as you are thinking out of the box!
@salza This wasn't the shot I had been thinking of, instead this one just came about. At least its in keeping with my leaves theme! I intentionally let the focus catch a falling snowflake and then I set the camera to manual. I really like the effect. Thanks for a fun week. I hope you've also enjoyed your challenge :)

I love the first snow. It makes the home feel so cozy. Love the colors of the tree in the back.

@gprosper26 Thanks Gina. It was very exciting to see it arrive!

@kiwichick This is gorgeous! I love the way you captured the movement of the snow and the colours are just stunning! I'm glad you enjoyed the push. Unfortunately I failed dismally to get another candid portrait but I will continue to try as I do need to get over my aversion to taking street and human shots! Thanks for the push, without it I would probably never even give it a try....

Lovely yellow in the leaves. And snow already. That seems early to me?

Snow is coming to town later this week! We have already had some in the mountains (as you know from my last post). Love the fall mixed with the snow!

How beautiful to see that blanket of white over those colorful leaves!
