Remember when I declared winter over? Look. Snow.
So I mentioned here and here how I was just certain that winter was over. Well, I was wrong. It snowed this week. I don’t think I’ve ever seen snow this late in April before and I’m a lifelong New Englander. It’s awful. I seriously hate it.
It messes with my head. There are daffodils everywhere, trees blooming, and birds singing yet snow is falling. As I stand in my kitchen cooking I feel a horrible cold draft through the window, look outside and see sunshine, and then glance at the clock and it is past 8:00 pm.. Dreadful. BUT this has to be it. IT HAS TO. May begins next week and after a horrible bone chilling forecast for the next four days I see some 60 degree days.
Please, no more snow. At least the kids liked it : )
The Leap into Spring Photo Challenge theme this week is Rain/Water.
I’ve got snow. That sort of counts.
I finally took my new 35mm lens out of my camera bag & used it. What do you think?
*Edited to add: We are getting more snow today*
These photos are so fun! I love the red coat.
Thanks so much. I want a pea coat just like it but suspect it won’t be as cute on me : )

Thanks so much! My mom is visiting SC next month and is so excited. I have a few friends there. Looks like a gorgeous place with MUCH better weather.
Love these photos; your kids are so cute. I really like the processing the the floral photo. And I’m liking the field of view from the 35mm lens. I just ordered a 28mm lens yesterday and I’m super excited to use it. I like the close-ups that my 50mm provides but I’m ready to fit more into the picture now.

Thanks so much Lisa! Please let me know how you like the 28mm. I am getting more and more comfortable with the wider angles and might check that lens out some day. Have a great weekend : )

I sooooo love these, Veronica! And yay for your new 35mm! I’m so jealous. Can I come over and play with it? The kids are adorable as ever…
Thanks for joining us in the Leap Into Spring Photo Challenge. I’m so sorry for showing up late. I’m still recovering from surgery and playing catch-up. I hope you’ll understand. Have a great weekend!
