'Every winter has its spring.'
H. Tuttle
Although winter is officially still a couple of weeks ago, December marked the beginning of meteorological winter. The meteorological seasons run every three months with meteorological winter starting on December 1st. Regardless of the date, where I live, winter is here. Last month, I wrote that we had our first 'skiff' of snow. A dusting that disappeared by mid-day.
Last night, it snowed enough to cause me to dig the shovel out of the shed. I didn't need to do the driveway, but the steps and walkways needed to be cleared off. Although the 21st will make it official, we're currently experiencing the spring of the upcoming winter. Given it was my first official day of shoveling, it seemed the perfect time to balance winter's burden with it's beauty.
Last month, I shared images that model and photographer Luke G. shot to help celebrate Autumn on FH. (Autumnity) Today, I'm sharing shots of Luke venturing out in the cold to shoot the first snow of the season. I really appreciate Luke for venturing out for the shoot, especially given he shares that he used to avoid the cold.
'Now I've just accepted it as a part of me. A winter wolf.'
The first snow, it's always some of the most beautiful to see. My body is never anywhere near acclimated enough to strip down and hop into it, but that's the love of doing this that I do anyway. It's like I'm forced to by some unknown force. Not to mention how worth it and fantastic the results are.'
