The day after a snowstorm

I didn't have any intention of posting anymore snow photos on here as after all it snows in most parts of the world anyway but I had to post these after yesterdays weather changes. On Friday night and early Saturday morning a snowstorm began. I looked outside and it looked amazing that I really wished I had a SLR camera to be able to photograph it but I don't so didn't.

 

Waking up Saturday morning the world looked something like this. From the 3rd photo down its my journey home after walking up the hill to get my eyebrows done (I'm still being good and keeping on top of it, nearly a whole year!). It was such a horrible task of walking up as I was one of the first to walk up the hill and it was like having sticky glue stuck to your shoes and having to pull yourself up. It was deep enough for my feet to sink in and be covered. I ended up walking on the road just to get up the hill quicker. I actually regretted not driving when I got to the top of the hills and seen how clean the roads were... they were not so clean an hour earlier when my brother left for work.

 

The other reason I regretted it is that you couldn't cross the road for puddles along the kerb... it looked like your average snow and you'd make the mistake of stepping on it only to sink into water. I did take photos of that, I thought I'd uploaded them straight to my flickr from my phone but hadn't so I'm quite annoyed about that.

 

Anyway walking back down the hill was a lot easier as a lot more people had walked that way, one of the people I met along the way was this person...

I couldn't help smiling and I love the idea of the carrot eyes and the Brussel sprout buttons even though they are rolling away....

Saturday night the wind rattled the windows and the rain must have poured because we woke up to this....

It was the weirdest feeling to open my curtains after seeing whiteness for 2 whole weeks, we've never had snow for that long for such a long time. Apparently though we are expecting more at the end of the week or the beginning of next week. For once the met office haven't been wrong but maybe just maybe this time they will be.

 

I had to blog to show the oddness of a clear day, the day after a snowstorm.... What's the weather like at your end?

Project: Photo A Day

With it being the last day of this month I decided it was best to post the last of my photo a day challenge today. I have had so much fun with it and it will be weird not thinking up new things each day so I may one day do this again, I'll have to see as I've got quite a few projects in mind that I'd like to do.

Day 26: 12 o'clock

I had just finished putting my washing out and was about to start writing a letter...

Day 27: Something Sweet

This I bought for my niece as she asks for a Gingerbread Man every time we go shopping. I don't always get her one and I think she only wants one because she likes the book.

Day 28: The Weather Today

It was 15c at 7.30am so my niece and I were outside with the bubble machine. Its still really warm despite us finally getting some rain.

Day 29: A Number

It's sometimes worth it to work in a school!

Day 30: Your Personality

I'm comparing myself to an ice-cream! Colourful, Generous, Full of Surprises, Creative but the brick work tells you of me being dull and disjointed in places.

Day 31: Something Beautiful

The children went to my favourite park today and I thought I might sneak a quick photo of the building in as something beautiful but it just rained all day so I was glad that the very first thing I'd got a photo of was this even though it wasn't quite how I wanted it. I still think its beautiful even with the giant puddle.

What are your plans for the weekend?
