Winter Wonderland

We’re living in a winter wonderland…

More to come.

End of the snow as we know it

…not really, but this will be the last post of the pictures from the snow day on Monday that I’m gunna post. Life goes on–ya know?

Edit: added the pictures to the gallery.

Just a little housekeeping note–I’m going to post the rest of the pictures on a blog post that you can only see if you are registered (and logged in). The reason I’m doing this is because I don’t want to put 100 pictures into one post  unless you really want to see them (it looks a bit weird–like the bottom of this post, but 10 times as long). I’m kinda using this blog as a showcase of some of my favorite photos, and if I include too many pictures, that kinda takes away some of the effect.

I don’t know how much sense that makes, and I might decide to do it a different way–such as upload pictures to the gallery or something.  I’ll also put some on facebook soon.

Anyways…some pictures.

Not the most successful jumping picture, but I like it.

More fun in the snow, old simpleton

Just a few more photos.

Having a jolly ol' time. :)

I contemplated not posting this picture, and just leaving it for dead on the streets of my hard drive (lame metaphor of the day), but I somehow like it.  I’m not really one to take pictures of plants, especially plants without flowers or any attractive traits, but the simplicity of this is kinda neat.  In my opinion, that is.  ;)

yep.

fun, fun, fun in the snow, snow, snow

Today is another snow day here at school. I’ve never experienced as much as a delay in my last 2 years of college, but yesterday was a 2 hour delay, and last week we had that other snow day. Good stuff. :)

We got about 4-5 inches, and this is the first experience of real snow for many people down here. It’s pretty great to see how people effect to snow. Everyone seems so jolly, and the school spirit that you don’t always see so plainly shines like never before. Nobody is saying anything about clubs or being lame dramatic, but everyone is just enjoying life and one another.

I managed to take upwards of 750 pictures yesterday. It was a great day minus getting hit by a well packed ice/snowball to the nose in between taking pictures.  Blood everywhere! Oh well. Sometimes you just gotta take one for the team. ;) Here are two of the pictures. I’ll probably put some more on here and facebook sometime in the future. =) Have a great day everyone!

Lots of snowmen being made. This was one of the more attractives ones. ;P

Strolling around

Yesterday Wads and I took a stroll around campus and then around town.  I traded my coat for his hat and gloves, for the sake of style. Taking walks and relaxing a bit is always a good thing, but when there’s snow out, it adds an even cooler feel to it. Rest of the story in pictures.

Wads and me about to venture out on our venture.
