snow!

just had to share a few shots from trying to deal with the craziest snowstorm in about a century this weekend! i took some shots early saturday morning (feb. 6), then once we (all three of us!) went out to shovel the driveway, which was… for me at least… a herculean effort. it’s been such a long time since i’ve had such a physical job to do, which i wanted so badly to stop but had to go on the sudden clearing of the sky just in time for sunset was magical, and today (sunday) of course it was bright and sunny, and not frightfully cold while the sun was out. in order to make the snowman, i waded to the middle of our front yard, dug up the head of the completely buried snowman from last week’s snow, and gave it to my husband to construct snowman number two. i’m dreading the shoveling that might be necessary with the storm expected tuesday and wednesday… but i still love the snow!

this is what you get when an utterly non-car person takes pictures at a car show… the only thing i could really get out of it was the smile on my son’s face, which of course made every minute worth it! anyway, this was, obviously, just a personal visit with my family, during the last hour of the last day of the washington, d.c. annual auto show… musa couldn’t get enough of getting into every car he could. i figured taking my camera was the best way for me to spend my time there…

our family took a trip this past weekend with a group of other young families to one of our favorite spots – wintergreen, a ski resort located in the virginia mountains about three hours’ drive from the DC area. i’ve been there twice before – once with my husband, before we had musa, and once last summer, to shoot this wedding. we had a wonderful time – most of all, watching our children enjoy themselves, but also enjoying some winter sports, good company, good food and lasting memories. naturally i took my camera along… though here i am sharing just a few images of my own family (like musa on the bungee-trampoline!), and mostly some of the breathtaking scenery at wintergreen – utterly magical in the snow and fog, and exhilarating in the winter sunlight under a blue sky.
