The first snow is always pretty and clean. Then winter arrives, spitting and howling.

Mike's Look at Life 
I live in Florida. What is the white stuff? Ha, Ha. We get hurricanes and fight mosquitoes. But rarely does it go below forty decrees.

Yes, Florida is warmer. I like the Keys, and have been there many times.

Yep, real pretty and fresh. And melting quickly too. I have a north facing home and I can go months with snow in my front yard.

You have snow? You lucky thing – we have torrential rain and wind. In fact the river Wharfe which flows (almost) by my door is the highest it has been for 30 years! Great photo Mike – we are due some snow for Christmas though…hope Pumpkin appreciates it 🙂

You are my mystery guest.
Who you be?
A river lapping at my door would make me uncomfortable. Pumpkin likes the snow, I do not. Thanks for the comment, mystery guest.

Yes, uncomfortable and devastating too. Good find, Pit and I hope my mystery guest is OK.

Very pretty! The gate makes the scene special.

I don’t think there is much of a photo without that gate. Center of interest and all that. Thanks for the comment, Denise.

Roger that, the Lady Susan. I’m as real as the day is long. (therefore slightly less real in the winter, eh)

You can keep that pretty fluff to yourself. I might like just a little of that come January or February… it never lasts more than a couple of days down here. Just enough to enjoy the novelty of it all!

Yeah, it is pretty for a little bit and then the pretty goes away and it is just cold and dreary. You, on the other hand, are pretty all the time.

Wow that is incredible! It almost looks floral as if many white roses are woven in and around. Stunning!

Only you would actually be able to weave white roses into a photo, clever Laura 😉
Thanks.

I couldn’t “like” it. I just can’t deal with it at all. Not yet. I’m not ready. I may never be ready.

It’s probably safe to say your girlfriend, Autumn, left you rather abruptly. Kind of hard to snuggle up with Blizzard. Our snow is over, the sun is making quick work of the snow, but the wind is mighty cold.
Stay warm, Mike.

Autumn has fled, and in her wake is a windy and unpleasant fellow. We got no snow in Greeley, not a lick. But it is windy and colder than a republican at a food stamps hearing.
