Oregon Snow, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.I’ve been messing around with manipulating some of my photographs. This was done in black and white and then the “color” was boosted up a bit. I like the effect.
This is a shot I used earlier in this blog… only a couple of entries before this actually. You can check them both out, the original and this one, to see which you like best.
Covered Maple, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
So far about 2 inches out there, but it’s snowing again and weather reports say it may continue on and off all day into tomorrow morning. Who knows how much we’ll get… all i know for now… it’s cold, snowy, and continuing to accumulate.

Back to the snow pictures of this morning. And in fact, it’s snowing again out there this morning. So lovely, the snow coming down at the same time there’s a shaft of sunlight coming through the trees across the road. Very beautiful combination.

Ice Covered, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.Ice… everywhere, covering everything.
I thought I’d include a couple of shots I took yesterday, before the snow. We had freezing rain on Saturday and the ice didn’t really melt. This time of year we don’t get much sun at our place. Our house is in this little valley… hills and tall trees all around. Where our house is situated the sun barely makes it over the trees. We get about an hour a day now, an hour we’re grateful for. Other than that hour, it’s fairly dark, dark and cold. Because of this coldish phenomena things don’t warm up much and when we get snow and ice it takes a long time to melt.
After The Snow, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
We woke up this morning to a couple of inches of snow on the ground. The snow came on top of a layer of ice we already had. It’s been cold here lately. Below freezing for the last few days. At least, below freezing at our place. We are, as I mentioned in an earlier post, up above that magic 500 ft. level. That place where they are saying, today, that we’ll get snow while everyone at a lower elevation will get rain. And in fact we have, in the last hour, gotten more snow. It’s beautiful really. The snow comes in, it clears and the sun comes out with that beautiful winter blue sky, and then the clouds move in again and we get a bit more snow. It’s going to be a quietly beautiful day.
