Annie,
I love watching dogs play in the snow too. I still remember walking home from the store carrying some groceries once. There was a dog on the sidewalk and he tried to get me to play with him. He play-bowed, tossed the snow with his nose and watched me hopefully. I told him I was sorry but I had to go home. He took one end of my scarf in his teeth and pulled, trying to entice me. That was years ago and I still remember him.

Snow is my favorite!!! And this winter, we had a lot of it!! Our dog is a lover of snow as well, loves tunneling through it, rolling in it and romping in it! He is white so sometimes it is hard to find him! Annies last blog post..Windows & Windex

kazari,
I’m glad you liked the pictures. My son-in-law took them, and I love them too.

Terro, Being a little kid myself, I have to agree: That's a picture of me last December after I accidentally plowed head first into a snowdrift. Luke, We live in an apartment down in town, so I get to enjoy the snow without shoveling. My husband does his with a snow plow up in the mountains.

I have learned to appreciate snow through the window much more lately. Earlier in life I felt an irresistible urge to sled and make snowmen, but after the first several snows this winter, I am ready to just watch it come down and wish I did not have to shovel it.

Snow sure is beautiful, but like most things beautiful, it brings with it a lot of work.

Your pictures of the snow leave me with an almost irresistible desire to dive right in and roll around...dogs and kids know how to live! Terros last blog post..Weekend Shutterbug

Robert and bikehikebabe,
I agree about fresh deep snow. And the nice thing about pictures is you can enjoy it again and again, without the cold.

When I was working I had posters of snow-covered mountains on the walls of my office. I was talking to a colleague once and said, “You don’t like snow, do you Tai-Sen?” He pointed to one of my posters and said, “I love snow, it’s so beautiful up in the mountains. I just don’t want it down here where I have to drive through it.”

rummuser,
Before the drought we used to have rainy seasons where it would rain every afternoon. We loved it. A luxurious downpour followed by sunshine and bright blue skies. They’ve been gone for a long time now, but we still remember and miss them.

I’m looking forward to your pictures.
