I woke up to a winter wonderland. Mother Nature, bored with the dull landscape of winter, had been busy while I slept painting everything white. The trees, bushes and weeds were showing off their new white tuxedos. Everything looked fresh, new and clean.
Scenes of white.
Under the tree.
MN a bit crazy with the white paint.
Cotton Candy snow.
The passageway.

Snow monster.
Perfect hiding place.
Keeping it clean.
Color.
Blessed with beauty.
Beautiful drive.
Stuck.
Tree snowball fight.

I love it! I am not of the mind to want to live in extreme climates, but it sure is pretty.
Thanks. 🙂
So creative! Some of these are like they are from a dream. Beautiful!
Thanks Shannon.
Always on point.
Thx. Great video by the way.
Passageway = Excellent.
Thanks Chuck.
Indeed! very beautiful photos, creative and inspiring. Bravo!
Thanks! 🙂
Seth, am very much enjoying your photography. Some shots are IMO exceptional.
Thx for your kind words.
how magical! I wish i could jump into these pictures!
I am sure you can if you try hard enough. 🙂
Lovely pics. So different to the greenery of my Ireland.
Ireland is so beautiful. 🙂 You are lucky.
I always liked watching the trees having a snowball fight. Great pictures.
Thx. 🙂
I nominated you for this new award. Congrats and enjoy. http://legendsofwindemere.com/2013/03/06/the-best-moment-award/
The Ring-neck ducks are great.
I’ve never seen one in person before. I had to look it up.
Oh Seth! Beautiful!
Thanks Meg.
In the UK we sometimes have similar falls of snow and you have to get out immediately with your camera. Leave it a few hours and the trees will have shed their snow and you’ll have lost the magic you’ve captured here.
Yes! So true. Thanks.
It’s so beautiful but I just don’t think I could do a cold climate again! Your photos have captured the beauty. Love the deer!
Thanks Linda.
Wow – awesome snow photos. Really incredibly beautiful. Thanks so much for posting.
Thanks Sheila.
Simply beautiful!
Thank you.
Wonderful snow photos, Seth. I envisioned waking up to a similar landscape. However, despite dire forecasts, the precipitation today in the Washington D.C. area came mostly in the form of rain, so that all we got was a slushy mess that was not at all photogenic.
Yeah, that slushy stuff is nasty. Thanks.
Very beautiful photos… Thank you for sharing. You don’t realise how much you miss snow until you live someplace that doesn’t really ever get that much (ahem, Christchurch!). Very stunning. PS. Randy and Rita the Deer. I was laughing at that!
Thanks Scott.
Cotton candy!
Yummy in my tummy. 🙂
Wow! You are blessed with some beautiful surroundings! And you capture it so well. Thanks for sharing these. I’ve never seen so much snow!
It was wet snow. It was quite heavy.
So does that mean that I would have a great time running around in it? or get stuck in it?
You’d have fun. 🙂
These are just breathtaking!
Thanks Toni.
Hi Seth, just wanna ask for Phillipp & Priscilla, you know, the “Duck Love Company”. Are they (and of course all the others) well? Even in Old Europe we had headlines in newspapers about the coming back of Mr. Winter to your spot 😉
Yes they are very well. Thanks for asking. 🙂
Marvellous – fantastic – awesome 😀 – There is nothing as untouched snow .. pure as new-driven snow?
Thanks Mariane.
Wow, what a fantastic winter wonderland you got to get out and explore. The snow missed us right on the Chesapeake Bay. 😦 I was all ready to go out and take some pictures.
I heard that. Everybody was all excited and nothing happened. Sorry. I’ll be posting some more snow pics soon. 🙂 Hope those will do.
What a winter wonderland, for sure. Where did you take these gorgeous pictures?
These are in Warren County, Ohio near my home. About 20 minutes north of Cincinnati.
I feel like I am there, in person.
It’s just beautiful. Glad you could capture it on film.
We’ve had a wonderful winter of snow this year (compared to 25 years ago, of course, it wasn’t much) and I’ve enjoyed every flake! I particularly like “keeping it clean”
Thanks. We used to get more snow when I was a kid too. Even in Tennessee we’d get 6 or 7 inches a year.
Seth, truly a winter wonderland. I love the soft hint of colour throughout your photos!
Thanks so much. 🙂 .
It’s getting so I can tell it’s one of your photos before I see your name! It was a beautiful morning, but gone too soon…. 🙂
Deb
Thanks Deb.
It’s soooo beautiful! I hope it didn’t bum you out too much!!!
Nah, it was fun.
Beautiful shots! This is the way I like to admire snow. lol
It was actually not very cold.
The snow in your neck of the woods is so beautiful!!! I love love love your pics! The deer are awesome too!!
Thanks so much Lisa.
Beautiful. 🙂 I wish I get to see snow when we visit. Thank you for sharing Seth.
Thanks. xx I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Seth,
I used one of your photographs in a display photo on my blog post today. Go check it out. http://alesiablogs.wordpress.com/2013/03/06/the-slow-reader/
I see that. I hope you like the cards.
Hi Seth,
I loved the cards as I love your photos, but they were cut to big to fit easily into the envelopes provided. The envelopes tear when you put the card in as the card may not have been cut precisely to fit in the envelopes provided. I will see if cafe press will take care of this.
Thanks and sorry about that.
Yeah. Hopefully they can remedy this problem. No worries.
It is absolutely beautiful. And you can keep every flake. 🙂
Thanks Ogee. 🙂
These are really beautiful. I love winter scenes.
Thanks so much. Glad you like the scenes.
We live in San Diego County, but at 6000 feet up, our winter looks like yours, on occasion. Beautiful photographs!
I love San Diego! I didn’t know there were places in the county that high and snow occurred.
Palomar Mtn in North County…where the Observatory is. Quite beautiful here, although not as good as Northern California.
Your photos are so happy. They are feel good photos.
Thanks Sandra.
Always looks so pretty while it’s still on the trees!
Thanks so much!! 🙂
The snow white fairies love the trees
Each branch they adorn easily
gives the branches grat company
makes the forrest look heavy
slowly the browns are hidden under white
and the sun gives a bright light
two cute ducks take a dip and back
sethsnap takes pictures to delight
good track 🙂
Nice Kalabalu. I’ve missed you.
thank you :))
Love these! Especially the deer!
Thanks so much.
Mother Nature is a bitch! Beautiful pics though…She is at my door step as I type…complete with high winds and snow…I just wish she would move on already! My poor flowers and birds are gonna die…Where oh where is Spring??? Great Pics!
It won’t last long here as the temps are rising.
We have been enjoying some great ‘spring like’ days here in the U.K. Temperatures actually reached 11c. only a thin fleece for walking. But I fear there is very much a sting in winters tail to come. Certainly cold again, now raining, high winds from the north east forecast so I guess snow would not be a surprise. Funny how we both love and hate snow all at the same time. Some great images again to-day. Cheers
I don’t like the bitter cold but I always enjoy seeing the snow. This time, the snow won’t last very long. It’s warming up here.
it’s back, it’s pure and we love it!
Thanks so much.. :)..
I’m going to Canada for a working holiday in winter so I think it’s safe to say that I will be producing some of my own icy pics soon 😛
That’s cool. Which part of Canada?
Thinking… hybernate in Banff and then move forth?
Beautiful, Seth! All I’ve been seeing is rain the last few weeks, but the mud’s fun..
Yes, make sure you make a mud pie.
Will do, Seth..
the holy snow
🙂
Pretty, pretty, pretty !!
Thanks Sonu.
