Snow!!

A few weeks ago I woke up one morning to a beautiful surprise - snow!!

Not just a few small flakes, but full, fat flakes falling in full force. (How's that for an alliteration?)

It wasn't long before the whole city was covered in a sheet of white.

My friend Elena was visiting me that week, so since we had no commitments for the day, we decided to head towards the park and enjoy the snow. Thankfully she had her camera with her, so even though mine was broken at the time, I still took a million pictures.



On the way we passed the Christmas tree by my house (the city took their sweet time taking down Christmas decorations). It looks as though the picture is in black and white, but really there was just so much snow, but if you look carefully you can see a little bit of color in the traffic light.

We got in touch with another friend and later my roommate and after quite a few snowball fights through the park, we set to work building a snow man. That day the whole city came out to the park, and there were snow men on every corner. The gardeners made make-shift sleds out of plastic bags and cardboard and took turns sledding down the hill by our snow man.

On our way out of the park we got a nice view of the city rooftops all covered in snow. What a beautiful day!!

This looks beautiful! You know what else is beautiful..that Jason's Deli napkin your holding in your hand.....le sigh. Why is something so good restricted to such a small area??
