Winter Through My Sister's Eyes

My sister, and roommate, is a lover of Winter. Just like me! She is a snowboarder (I am a skier) but she one-upped me this year by becoming part of Ski Patrol at one of our local mountains. (Well, Snowboard Patrol I suppose...) She gets to snowboard at least 2 days a week all season long. And she gets PAID for it!! So not fair. :) She likes to take her camera along when she's out there and has captured some really beautiful winter scenes so far this year. Below are three of my favorites I wanted to share with you folks. Aren't they great? Winter can be so beautiful! I hope you all are enjoying the rest of your weekend. We've had big, puffy flakes of snow falling since I woke up this morning which has been lovely. Though it means I'll have to shovel twice today!!



They call these snow rainbows "Sun Dogs"

    Happy New Year E. Charlotte ~ Those are wonderful photos captured by your sister. I love that first one and the 'snow dog' is cool.

    OOO please tell her "wonderful pics!" from me! Although I have to say you couldn't pay me enough to be out in the cold two days a week :)

    Thanks for sharing these lovely pics! I'm with Jen: I don't like the cold and don't care for snow, so I've never experienced a Sun Dog. It's beautiful!

    Oh my gosh, these pictures are magical!!!
    I am not a fan of Winter, love Spring and Fall, but I love to look from the inside at the beautiful scenes outside.
    I wish you a very happy and healthy New Year and thank you for stopping by my blog.
    Have not been feeling too well and am just catching up with everyone.
    Warm hugs,
    Evi

    Wonderful photos! We can sometimes see the snowy Pyrenees from our town, but we haven't actually headed off there yet this winter...
