Spring Surprise  by laurentye

Spring Surprise

Some of you that look through my photos may remember my picture from April 3rd "While Out Running". In that picture the sun was shining and the snow was almost all melted. Imagine my surprise to find this waiting for me after work! lol I guess it's not quite spring yet!

* I'm sorry this picture is a bit boring. I tried to make it more interesting by adding this strange texture effect from picnik to give it an "aged" look.
Oh Lauren! Ugh....I'm so sorry! Crappy weather. I think we have that coming towards us tomorrow or Sunday. Just looking at the picture makes me cold!

You are not the only one. We are suppose to get a couple of inches of snow tonight. Hopefully this will be the last hurrah of winter.

How horrible! I'm so sorry, but at least you got a pretty picture of out of it!

Ick! Just north of Toronto they will be getting some snow as well. April is never a settled month, there is always a surprise lurking. ;-)

@cynak oh no I hope you don't get it too! the worst part is I was so excited about clear sidewalks for running, lol

@sweetcalliope I hope it's the last hurrah too!

@rbobh69 thanks Bob :)

@russianblue it's true, April is such a silly month cause you just never know, lol

I'm glad it is not here, but snow is pretty
April 16th, 2011  
That is just crazy! Hope it melts really fast.
April 16th, 2011  
Wow, more snow!!

Well Lauren it's a strange month in the UK its been 20 degrees then12 degrees mixed with rain & sun at varying levels. Hope you get out to run soon & the shot almost forgot that .... Well look again it's not boing this is what I see.... the footsteps leading on up the path who as it where were they going, the line of trees lead nicely into the pic making me focus on the footsteps.I feel cold looking at it & it could have been taken some time ago due to the vintage effect you have added. Also I'm wondering what is the red in the bottom right is that part of the vintage effect or is it realy there. Lots to think about in this one. Not forgetting it is a good shot with good perspective :-)

Lauren, this is such a gorgeous photo.. Crazy to think of snow this time of year.

It is the beginning of the end. Some say that to me when I mention the strange weather. The picture is nice to look at. I tried to figure out what the straight lines are?
April 16th, 2011  
Uugggg, that's just no fun at all.
April 16th, 2011  
@hjbenson Harry,you are right snow can be pretty!
@anron thanks Anita, I really hope it melts quickly too!
@bill_d It's crazy to think it's almost May!

@spthorne thank you for saying such nice things about this one, I appreciate it :) as for that red at the bottom, it is part of the effect I added. Luckily, it is suppose to get nicer again this week. Not nearly as nice as your 20degrees (not even as nice as your 12 degrees, lol), but i think it might be 6 or 7 degrees, which should make the snow melt and make running more pleasant again. Thanks again for the comment, I will be over your way in a moment to see your latest :D

@michelleyoung thank you for that Michelle, hope you're having a nice weekend
@honestabe it does seem like it's strange weather everywhere this year! those lines on my picture are just from an effect I added to the picture in editting
@bobg thanks Bob for that, I will try to stop complaining about the snow now, lol
April 16th, 2011  
Sorry that it is snowed again, but chin up, spring weather has to come sometime soon and stay this time. Nice photo.

April has been a crazy month for us too, on the other side of the continent. At least you know that it will met quickly (if it hasn't already).

I really like the texture on this one. I could have sworn this was actually a picture of something on paper it looks so convincing.
April 17th, 2011  
Unbelievable! You have snow in spring time and we have sunny beach days in Autumn.. crazy weather!
April 17th, 2011  
@jendee3 Thank you Jen :) it looks sunny out today so i will keep my fingers crossed maybe it will stay!

@fallingwaters thanks for the comment Don. I think here it is suppose to be around 3-7 degrees most of the week, so that will be good!
April 17th, 2011
