Ready to Plow

The past few days have been crazy with snow. I woke up this morning with 8 inches of the white stuff needing to be moved off my very long driveway. I was outside with the snowblower by 8:30 (my husband is away working). It was supposed to turn to rain but it didn't. Instead we got an additional 7 inches during the day. I cleared the driveway two other times plus braved the snow covered roads and dealt with my parents much shorter driveway (they are in Mexico). Our total snow count is around 27inches over the past five days. I live on Vancouver island, BC, Canada. We rarely get snow so this system is a major thing! Here's a photo of my house this morning. I thought you might get a kick out of seeing it.
Wow! You guys have a lot! 27 inches is crazy! Our snow only lasted about 24 hours and is completely gone now. Warm weather blowing your way soon! I like how the house is framed by the trees.

Looks like fairyland. With your D810!!!

Cool today here in Melbourne -- only 28C ... or about 35-40 more than you, I am guessing :)

27" wow! It is beautiful but lots of work for sure

Nice framing too

Great shot and framing

@scotthouston I've hardly tried the new machine but so far I'm loving it. It is SO Quiet compared to my d800. I'm really pleased with the focus too.

Holy. It's not even over the toe of our boots in southern Ontario! You have a snow blower but rarely get snow? Way to be prepared!

@kwind Lol; feeling the mirror and shutter go "whack" in the D800 was an integral part of the haptics. Pleased on the focus -- that's good news.

@shutterbugger I thought my hubby was nuts when he bought it 3 winters ago. We had just moved here and we got a foot of snow. I figured he wouldn't use it again and we didn't until this year. I won't question his purchases again... It saved my back this week.

put some nice red ribbons somewhere or a sprig of holly and a robin and you have the ideal holiday card! this is so beautiful. excellent composition. aces!

Yea for snow blowers (and a hubby who thinks ahead!) That would have taken a lot of the fun out of this snow - the scene looks beautiful the way you've composed it. Trust it doesn't last long for you though.

Very pretty scene.
February 10th, 2017  
Beautiful shot. Shoveling all of that would have sucked! Hooray for snow blowers.
February 10th, 2017  
Wow .. beautiful .. but hard for us to comprehend over here on a nice sunny evening... but before too long the tables will be turned ... though we just get mud not snow..
February 10th, 2017  
Beautiful shot! A gorgeous winter landscape
February 10th, 2017  
Wow, I remember my shoveling snow days, love the framing.
February 10th, 2017  
Wow. That's a lotta snow! What a beautiful image so nicely framed by the trees.

Oh, this is so lovely - fav.
February 10th, 2017  
It looks magical but I am guessing you are a little bit over the snow.
February 10th, 2017  
Been following you for a few years so I know how unusual. We got the fluffy stuff yesterday - easier to move. Hope yoy've seen the end of it.
February 10th, 2017  
I cannot fathom living like that! It does look super pretty though.
February 10th, 2017  
Oh Kim...my feet are hot and swollen from the heatwave we are having here in Australia and this photo makes me what to sink my feet my right in. I love how trees frame the house.
February 10th, 2017  
It looks wonderful but I bet the reality is more serious. Super picture though. Love the framing too. Fav.
February 10th, 2017  
Terrific :)
February 10th, 2017  
Beautiful framing!
February 10th, 2017  
what a pretty scene. nice when you can still get out though
February 10th, 2017  
Thank goodness you have a snowblower since you rarely get snow. Nice framing using the two trees.What's wrapped around the tree on the left?
February 10th, 2017  
Love this photo...great framing and composition
February 10th, 2017  
What an Idyllic scene -- but perhaps not so if you have to snow blow the white stuff from your long drive !
February 10th, 2017  
What a beautiful image! Fav
February 10th, 2017

February 10th, 2017

Beautiful image and to think I was complaining about the foot of snow we received.
February 10th, 2017  
*GORGEOUS* Location! Beautiful framing (of your driveway entrance, I'm guessing?) The whole scene is magnificent!

So thank you for sharing, and I look forward to returning when it melts!
February 10th, 2017  
You (or someone) has their work cut out for them.
February 11th, 2017  
That is an incredible amount of snow for your area. Impressed with the snow-blowing activities. This scene is perfectly composed, framed, and balanced.
February 11th, 2017  
A veritable winter wonderland :)
