As I have said before, moving to a new place engenders the same discovery process as travel. While my neighbors complain about the winter weather, I am staying pretty positive. Most of the big storms veered south or north leaving us with little snow. Washington, DC has had more snow this winter than Hartford, CT. The snow that has fallen has made for an enjoyable workout shoveling the walkways and driveway. Temperatures have been unseasonably high. It’s cold, but not so cold that I have to find something warmer than my fleece.
Before the noise and stench of snowblowers begin, I love the fresh blanket of snow. It has been so long since I have lived in a place with snowfall that I notice the shape of the snowflakes and how it sticks to otherwise bare trees. I laugh at the squirrel tracks in the snow crossing rooftops and circling trees.
What I notice most is how similar it looks to other seasons; the color pallet has just changed. In October I updated you on the bold colors of the New England autumn attracting Leaf Peepers from around the world. Here are some of those same views in the middle of a winter storm.
I am participating in DeliciousBaby’s super cool Photo Fridays, where everyone is invited to link to a travel photo. Please click here to see more of this week’s photos & stories.
We’re definitely looking like the bottom picture this morning!

Love this comparison. Definitely give me different mood when looking at the picture of different season.

Great idea to photograph the same spots in different seasons.

I love the idea of photographing the same place during different seasons, too! You’ll have to do spring and summer now

Hi, I’m visiting from Photo Friday.
What a great idea to take those photos! I think I’m going to have to adopt it:) I love the fall picture.
Now, I better get outside and take a picture before all the snow melts. (fingers crossed!)

love your pictures! Living in California, I’ve always wanted to live somewhere with snow!
These might be the only snow pictures I get this year. While everywhere around us is getting above average snow, we are getting less snow and warmer temps. Spring and summer pictures should be fun. I have no idea what the blossoms look like.
Looks like you got off easy this year:) Looking forward to your blossom pictures.
Perfect illustrations of the seasons. I don’t think I’ve ever seen THAT many leaves on a single street!
