Snowfall
Happy Birthday a day late – lol – but I was a bit sidetracked yesterday! A special taste of an upstate NY winter day for my dear city friend, Nancy Fischer who loves the snow! And a little light verse to go with it:

this is sooooooooooo beautiful ~ it looks like a painting or fine arts sketch ~ such a wonderful gift for Nancy ~ the joy and peace of this snowfall you’ve captured so well ~ xxx
lianne replied
I had an “unusual” extra bit of time on my hands to play with a photo – lol – and while you’ve been enjoying the West Coast sunshine, we got the perfect snowfall for this kind of play! I’m so glad you liked it sweet friend – missing you!
handprintz
Oh my goodness ! this looks very cold,just a taste of things to come? how lovely to have snow at christmas time,a beautiful image and lovely contrasts lianne looks gorgeous in the frame xx
lianne replied
In an odd sort of way it’s less cold when it snows like this! Like an insulating blanket, I suppose. And I can hope I’ll have snow for Christmas – it’s been alternating between melting days and snowing days but today it’s snow again. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thank you so much Trudi – I’m so appreciative of your lovely comments.
Antanas
Perfection
lianne replied
How lovely of you Antanas to say such a kind thing! Thank you so very much!
Yool
That is so pretty!!!!!!
lianne replied
Thank you Mariola – yes it’s beautiful unless you have to shovel it or drive in it – lol. If I can just look at it curled up in front of the fire, I’m totally in love with the sight! So appreciate your comments and support my friend.
Helene Kippert
You’ve turned this into a drawing with your wonderful treatment lianne – very beautiful!

Gordon Christie
Great photo and brings back memories of my childhood in the woods near my home in Edinburgh. We don’t always get snow now – climate change. Have a lovely Christmas and thanks for past comments. Much appreciated.

bearpaw
it looks so beautiful and magical Lianne! xo
lianne replied
It is beautiful – though a struggle at my age to shovel and keep clear but I do love it. It was a perfect day really – nothing like a good storm if you have what you need and a good fire! I’m so glad you liked it!
jpryce
A beautiful snow scene Lianne…you are very lucky…we have received mostly ice this year…very little snow…
lianne replied
I hate ice! I’d rather a nice snow storm any day than ice. Perhaps you’ll get some yet Susie – winter is far from over for us here in the north country – lol. Thanks so much – so great to see you back and to be back even if in spurts!
Yool
Looks wonderful ….wow!!!
I do love snow !!!!
lianne replied
I do too Mariola – but a whole lot more if i don’t have to shovel it before I get to play – lol! And it’s snowing heavily again as I write so looks like I’ll need to shovel some more before dark! So glad you liked this my friend!
jpryce
Hey! 2-4” of snow is supposed to fall tonight…perhaps I will be able to get out that shovel afterall…I would do a ‘snow angel’ and take a photo to post…but I doubt that I could pull myself up again…
lianne
LOL Susie – sorry I missed this comment the other day! I’m getting lost! I want to see that snow angel my friend!!! Have at it! Someone will pull you out! I shoveled ANOTHER foot today! My back is beginning to seize up!! lol
dinghysailor1

Awww thank you Maggie – not much else to shoot these days but snow – lol. Have to make of it what I can. I’m so very glad you liked it my friend!
Jan Landers
...and miles to go before i sleep…and miles to go before i sleep…..this is so beautiful, lianne…you have captured the true spirit of winter here….
lianne replied
Thank you so much Jan – this one was rather special to me – and I really loved that old time feeling. You have chosen so beautifully just exactly the right line of poetry to express this sense – so meaningful, my friend. That touches me deeply.
Erhan OZBIYIK
I missed a lot of your works !!!!
Sigh!!! I really dont have time even am not working.. !!!
I dont know what will I do, when I begin to work again !! :))
HUGS Lianne !! :))
lianne replied
I know how you feel Erhan – I am working though and more hours and evenings than I used to so I have a great deal less time as well. It does make you feel badly doesn’t it when you miss so much?? But don’t worry, my friend – we both know we care!! Hugs to you too!
Alessandro Pinto
Awesome.. hard to say if it’s a beautiful photo or an awesome painting.. Love it
lianne replied
Thank you so much Alessandro – it is a photo though I would so love to be able to draw like this!! I’m so glad you liked it and thank you so much for the lovely comment.
Brian Downs
Well done, can I give you my birth date? LOL
lianne replied
Well thank you very much Brian – and for your visit to my portfolio as well. I appreciate it very much. And sure – the birthday is fine – lol. As long as you remember – I’m a writer first and a photographer second so what you see is what you get!
Lynn Moore
I so don’t like winter which is difficult living in Iowa : ) But this makes me almost long for it (almost). It is so beautiful lianne, it almost looks like a painting!
lianne replied
Oh, I’m so glad you think so even though it isn’t! I’m totally hopeless with PS so the best I can manage is a little sharpening. Thank you so much Lynn – it means a lot to have you visit and leave such a lovely comment.
hsien-ku
i was a bit daunted by the fact that i’m facing my first european winter (after years in sunny queensland) but you’ve inspired me now to photograph lots of snow! great shot.
lianne replied
Thank you so much! Winter can be challenging but every now and then you get a shot like this that makes it all worth while! Yours will be magnificent, I know!
Irina Mashurova
ah, it’s like a russian winter!!
beautiful!
lianne replied
I am so sorry about the delay in responding to your lovely comment Irina – I have no idea how I missed it! And I do so appreciate your visit and such a wonderful compliment. Thank you so very much.
