My 52 Project - Week 9

Week 9 - Black and White

So this is how we roll.  Week 8 = super bright.  Intense.  Red.  Week 9  = the opposite of that.  Black and white.  I'm not an extreme person.  Honest!

North Carolina, however, has some extreme weather.  Well . . . a little weather is considered extreme here.  Mostly any solid form of precipitation is considered extreme.  If there is a light dusting of snow, everything closes.  I mean EVERYTHING!  It's great - one of the many, many reasons I love this state.  In all fairness, I've never seen ice like I have seen living here.  But the white powder does cause quite a ruckus.  I give you exhibit A.



This was captured by a driver last year when we had some snow.  Yes, this is for real people!  I was driving home in this li'l storm.  A truck jack-knifed on a little bridge, backing up traffic for miles.  People turned their cars off, got out and started walking.  For real!  Left their cars in the road, along the road, wherever.  Somehow I managed to make it home.

We thought this year would be the year of no snow, but we were wrong (likely thanks to Punxsutawney Phil).  We had a little ice and snow this week.  Perfect setting for black and white pictures.  I took a handful of pictures of the girls outside, throwing snow with shovels.  This is the one I submitted for the week.

 

 

 

They will play outside for hours - scraping up whatever little bit of snow they can.  Then they run inside, asking for hot chocolate by the fire.  I've sure had my fill growing up in north western PA, but I'm glad my girls (and the neighborhood kids) got just enough white stuff to make their winter!

 

 



Snow was a-flyin' with these girls and their shovels :)
