Thursday Postcard Hunt - Snow
Yes, Snow is this week's theme for Thursday Postcard Hunt, being the month's theme is Winter!
I like snow. For a few days. I have lived in snow for one winter, and that was enough. I remember telling my mother over the phone that it wasn't even pretty any more. Fortunately, the snow now is a day or two and gone, once in a while a bit longer.
Burfordville Covered bridge and Bollinger Mill, Missouri, in the snow. The mill was built in 1800, and was burnt down during the Civil War, only to be rebuilt and operational until 1948.
Crater Lake, Oregon in winter. The island is Wizard Island, a cinder cone.
Don't think that the desert never gets snow! This is Joshua Tree National Park in California, where it snows a few times a year.
Snow in Latvia. Text reads, Northern landscape in Gaisiņkalna.
...I love the Burfordville Covered bridge and Bollinger Mill.
ReplyDeleteI like covered bridges! Oregon has the most west of the Mississippi, but I've only seen a handful.
Delete...years ago I visited some of Oregon's covered bridges and was surprised that so many are painted white and that they were built in the first quarter of the 1900s.
DeleteI do believe that too much snow can be hard to live with. But on postcards... That is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty. When my youngest were little a day trip to a snow park was fun. I'm not one for getting cold and slipping on hidden ice!
DeleteIce is a whole other story! Blessedly where I live we have no snow, but just southwest near Buffalo - another snow storm. Also some people were trapped on a highway (11) northeast of us for many, many hours from a snow storm. Snow in a not-urban-area can be so pretty, as evidence in your cards.
ReplyDeleteYes, ice. My oldest lives on the east coast, and it's the ice that gets to him.
DeleteAh yes, I'm well aware of the snow in the desert in CA. Not often. But it can get so very cold in the desert in the winter. I don't know what I'd do if I lived somewhere where snow was the usual thing.
ReplyDeleteYou'd plan on moving!
DeleteI love snow laden trees, the Oregon group looks almost like a sculpture
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snow sceneries. I have the same view of Crater Lake but in the summer.
