Baby It’s Cold Outside….

 

It’s –16 degrees here right now and with the wind chill it feels like –38.  As I type this Joel is trying to plow us out.  We have 12+ inches of snow on top of the 6-8 inches we already had.  The wind is whipping across the fields and our dirt road is drifted shut.  There are literally snow waves in this years soybean field.  If it wasn’t so cold and if the snow wasn’t so deep in places I would be out in that field taking pictures!  Alas, I don’t feel like bucking snow drifts with my thighs.  Thankfully I was able to get outside yesterday and take some photos before it got bitterly cold.

  4. Your photos are gorgeous! They make winter look good and that's saying something. ;-)

    Love your photography. I'm a real fan. That picture of your daughter in the lights, the one in your header, is so beautiful. Makes me want to take a picture of my daughter like that.

    1. Thanks, Jess! I wish I could get more photos of the blue jays at my feeders, but they get a bit spooky when I stick my lens out of my sliding glass door!

  6. What are those birds doing out without their coats on?! Don't they know they'll catch a cold? ;o)

    I have always harbored a desire to be "snowed in" at least once in my life. Obviously with food and supplies, but still snowed in. There's something exciting about not being able to go anywhere due to Mother Nature. I hope you guys stay warm!

  9. Love your pictures. I'm especially fond of the picture looking down the road. Is it crazy that Brian and I were disappointed when they changed our forecast and everything went north of us? I think we only got 1-2 inches but quite a bit of rain first. I think the lowest we saw was -9 but not sure what the wind chill was. Thank you for sharing the beauty from your neck of the woods.

  10. Wow so much snow. It's beautiful to look at and I'm loving several of your photos but am also so thankful that we've not had a hard winter here. It snow about an inch last night but melted today already.

  11. Oh my.

    These are all breathtaking. You have a beautiful eye...for beautiful things. The little things and simple things of God's creation.

    I especially love the details. The clothes pins, and dots of color on the wavy bush.

    Keep warm!
