Serenity In The Snow

12/18/2019

I have a love/hate relationship with winter. I absolutely detest being cold--I'd much rather be too hot than too cold. But, I really, really love the beauty of winter, especially fresh snow!

To me, there is nothing as serene as fresh snow, blanketing the world in white. The softness, the purity and the freshness always make me smile and I could stare at it for hours! (So could my kids! Really, the wonder of a fresh snowstorm is magical!)

Thank goodness for windows, because I was able to capture some snowy serenity from the warmth and comfort of my home!

What about you? Are you a fan of cold or hot? Do you love snow too?

The Serenity Project is a monthly gathering of friends, seeking serenity in our everyday lives. Please continue in the Serenity Circle to see how some of my friends found their own slices of serenity. Next up is Eileen Critchley, Ohio Photographer.

Emily, your work is very beautiful. 💓

I was born in the middle of winter during a snow storm and have an affinity with the snow and winter time of year. The cold weather doesn't bother me as long as I'm wrapped up cosy and warm.

These images make me want to experience the snow. We used to get heavy snow back on the west coast of Scotland when I was growing up but such winters are few and far between these days. Here on the east coast, it's much the same. I've only experienced one severe winter with snow since we came to live in the shire and I remember thinking I wouldn't get home from work on that occasion. It took 3 hours by car that day - a journey that is normally 10 minutes!

Have a lovely Christmas Emily....both you and yours. Hope it's filled with lots of special memories and cheer. Xx

Absolutely beautiful post, Emily. I really enjoy winter, and I think having four seasons is good for us as human beings. But, of course, you don't want the cold to drag on too long! There is a time and a place!
love the last two bird images! Happy Holidays to you!

Beautiful Emily! I have to say since living in AK, I love the cooler weather and snow. The heat of the Midwest growing up was oppressive at times and I find the cooler climate so much more doable for me personally. Not to say I don’t enjoy the beach and the summers at the lake! 😉

I, too, love the look of wintery snow, but I cannot tolerate being cold. Beautiful images.

Photography is the story I fail to put into words.
