White Christmas Surprise by olivetreeann

White Christmas Surprise

What a surprise to come out of church on Christmas Eve and be greeted with snowflakes everywhere! I hadn't been expecting a white Christmas, so it was a nice surprise. We didn't have much when all was said and done (only an inch) but it was just enough to make the world glisten on Christmas morning.
This is really pretty, Ann! The lighting and detail is perfect! We’re getting a blizzard right now, but I hope when the winds die down I can find some good photos!

@lisjam1 Thank you Lisa! We're getting more snow right now which probably came from your direction. I'm sure you'll get those shots- you are an awesome photographer!
@nicoleterheide Thank you Nicole!
@summerfield Thank you Vikki! There may be more in store for you- we're getting another storm right now. I always think I'll do one of my shots for the Christmas card, but so many family and friends would be disappointed not to receive the family pictures. But that's a nice idea.
@ididntdoit87 Thanks Hillary!
@cimes1 Thank you Carole! Looks like we're going to have a white New Year's too- another storm just rolled in.

Beautiful. I like the contrast of green and white in this picture.

Simple, and very effective.

Yes, as much as I did not want snow, it was nice to see a light white covering

Nice shot! We got a white Christmas too! Woohoo! It can go away now, but Ma Nature has decided to send more our way! Booo! LOL ... I like how the snow is weighing down the branch. Nicely done, Ann!

@mrssmith Thank you Carla!
@automaticslim Thank you Andy!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick! Well, it seems that once it got started it didn't want to stop! More on it's way now. Oh well, maybe it's just getting it all out of its system like last year and the rest of the winter will be mild. Wishful thinking I suppose!
@prttblues Thank you Bev! Well, I do like snow around Christmas but it can stop now. I want it to be mild like it was last winter!
@karenann Thank you Karenann! I think I took about 20 different shots of different branches but this one was THE shot.
@eniaral Thanks Laraine! I was out there in my pjs taking these shots and was hoping the whole time that the neighbors didn't see me!
@daisy Thank you Kathryn!
