Snowy Weekend

Last weekend was a little different than the one before it.

My husband thought that the snowy Saturday was a perfect time to go get some logs.

It did make for a pretty backdrop.

This boy insists on covering his face when it is cold.

Something about keeping warm.

Crazy.

“Nothing Gold Can Stay”

I have a lot of other things I should be blogging about.

I am way behind in our curriculum posts.

But I looked out my window this morning and saw the beautiful sun rising over the new snow.

All I could think was that line in Robert Frost’s Poem “Nothing gold can stay.”

So I went for a walk around our yard, trying to capture the magic that was happening before me.

This above image is the one I pictured in my head before I went out.

I knew I wanted to use my 50mm 1:1.4, just for this image.

I am glad I was able to find it!

The birds were serenading me the whole time.

Beautiful.

What an amazing way to wake up.

Following the sunlight through the snow.

I decided I wanted to add something to my non-existent bucket list.

Watch the sun rise and set every day for a month.
