Lavender snow


Today the snow melts, but last night my husband and I went for a walk at dusk. The sun was setting and turned the snow a mixture of rose and violet. I was reminded of the old painting adage that white is never truly white. Hopefully the photo shows some of the quality of light.

That's fabulous, Michelle - thanks so much for sharing.

(And very inspiring for my Norway book, as all our snow has melted... and touch wood will stay that way.

Oooohhh-- just gorgeous. And well done you for remembering to take a camera! (I never, ever do...)

I only remembered because my husband nagged me. But then I was very pleased that I had the camera.
