In a lot of ways, it doesn't feel like Christmas will be here in less than a week. However, Mother Nature decided it was high time she decorated for the holidays, so yesterday afternoon she started in with the fluffy white stuff & didn't stop until this morning. After our boy headed out to drive our youngest to work (with hubby riding shotgun just in case, since it a bit icy), I decided to wander around the yard and get some snowy Sublime Sunday shots.
I picked over two dozen of my favorites, then to narrow it down a bit further, I got rid of any that had stuff like our house, car, lawnchair - you know, non naturey things. I liked the vibe of just nature being all seasonal and such in the twenty four shots that were left
And usually when I'm going through the pics I plan to post, a sort of internal monologue starts rattling in my head, which is what typically becomes the photo captions. However today, nothing really popped in my brain other than, "Okay, totally not ready for winter weather yet, but this is actually kind of pretty and makes me happy." Rather than using that for all the captions, I figured I'd actually shush this time around and just leave it at numbers (in case someone has a question about a particular shot). Hence the "silent" part of the blog title. 😊

Oh, and my usual spiel before I get to the photos - these were taken in the yard of my Durham, NH home with my Nikon, also using my tripod. All were resized, then cleaned up a bit with PicMonkey - today was just adjustments to the exposure and sharpness.
Now here are my snowy shots, in the order I took them around 9am this morning...

So lovely, @traciyork! I love it right after a fresh snowfall when there is snow coating every branch and twig. It just takes my breath away! I'll be posting my own fresh snow pictures for Sublime Sunday tonight as well, but yours are better!
I hope you made a snow angel!
Thanks so much @jayna and I agree - I was so not happy about the timing of the storm, but walking around the yard turned my "ugh" into "wow"...lol! However I disagree about my photos being better than yours - I just took a peek and they are spectacular! Totally jealous of that picture of the pier with the shadow (11 up from the bottom) - the clean lines and the untouched snow look amazing together!
And no snow angel for me, but our dog Sandy did a bunch of "snow plowing" with his nose... 😂
Beautiful snow there. It must be cold but the sky is blue :) Love it 🤗🤗 @traciyork
It was around 29F/-2C when I was out taking pictures, but it "warmed up" a few degrees later in the day so yes - just a bit chilly! 😄 And thanks so much @trangbaby. 🤗
Wow this is beautiful.
Thanks so much @emeka4.
Wonderful nature and snow. Both are looking awesome. The snow on the branches of the trees looks even more amazing. Feeling a lot colder though. Anyway you shared awesome photography.
While I'm not a fan of the cold weather, I can't imagine living someplace that didn't have snow like this, because it does look so amazing. Well, when winter starts I can't imagine - give me a couple months of this weather & I'll be dreaming about living in a tropical paradise...lol! And thanks so much, @kawsar8035. 😊
When winter comes here, it drops to a minimum of 15 degrees. That is my biggest problem. Because winter is not my favorite. During this time I have to suffer a lot of physical problems. Surely I would die in such a snowy environment. However, tropical is also my favorite.
Now you won't believe how envious I am of you having snow, change is so dramatic in your seasons.
Number 22 is my favourite photograph with little white puff balls hanging onto their new spot 😁

Great snaps. I love when the snow covers everything like that.
It doesn't feel like the holidays at all this year. It has to be the warmer weather. I felt that way when I lived in Vegas too. It's just not xmas without a little snow.
Bright blessings on this Solstice and Happy holidays!
I do miss the snow. This makes me cold just looking at it!
Images of snow are always mesmerizing for me ..
Thank you for sharing them, absolutely gorgeous :)
(I rarely have the chance to see or touch snow..)
Hermosas fotografias. me encanta la nieve se mira muy hermosa.
