December snow is the most alluring precipitation, creating christmas card like atmosphere, adding to the the spirit of the Holidays.
We have been under a heavy snow blanket for over a week, as the first few snowstorms of the year swept over the country - the latest one last night - leaving us with stunning views of a winter wonderland. Yesterday the weather gods granted us a short break, with clear skies and a fragile sunshine, beckoning us to set out on a short drive through the white landscape.
The soft winter sun momentarily drenched nature in a platinum light, making the snow sparkle and the contrast between the alabaster white fields and the azure blue December sky so very obvious.
The ivory views passing the cars window clearly reinforced the fact that we have stepped into the third season and the reign of Lady Winter has truly commenced.

Lovely images of snow! Wish I could see some, Zuzana:)
ReplyDeleteYou're right. These look like Christmas cards. Nice that you were able to go for a ride and enjoy the beauty.
ReplyDeletejust breath taking! that blue sky is in contrast to the grey cloud tossed sky we have here.
ReplyDeleteYou must be feeling very Christmassy now!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Zuzana, one nicer than the next.
ReplyDeleteI'm sooo jealous of your snow, and your blue skies! Would love some, and no sign of any here, yet!!
Enjoy every minute of it! It does make everything look so pure and beautiful.
Beautiful images, so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful Zuzana,gives me the Christmas spirit! Drive carefully on your long journry to work each day and cuddle up with lovely man at night! love Angela x
ReplyDeleteA winter wonderland! Love your photos--so different from where you used to live! Both places are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe have been having unseasonable warm, balmy days for December. Tornado watch tonight and it was in the 70's today--Supposed to turn cold this week! I'm ready!
Beautiful images, but I dont want to invite them in with my praise. We are yet to have a snowfall and even though I know it's good for us, I don't want to drive to work in snow covered roads.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sweety,
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are stunning, just love the blue sky. Hope you will get to work safely, it is blowing fiercely here over the isle and there is a lot of ice on the road!
Drive careful! big sis. e.
The first snow is magical - especially when it comes with dreamy azure skies. Fabulous shots!
ReplyDeleteOOOO looks chilly and sooo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love a winter wonderland of snow especially in the evenings.
We have nothing but rain. but higher up in the mountains the kids are skiing and snow boarding.
It's lovely up there.

Oh Zuzana....your photos are such beautiful contrast...the white snow and gorgeous blue sky! We do not have any sight of snow here...hopefully VERY soon...it is a bit drab....lots of grays and browns around here....we need a little LIGHT!
ReplyDeleteI am envious! Your snows are beutiful. Your photos are amazing.
ReplyDeleteDear Zuzana,
ReplyDeleteReading this and your last post set off a longing that I have for a home of my own. Will be moving into Mom's house in the Spring, that will be a pleasant change, I think. I'm ready. Your pictures always make me want to travel so! Enjoy your new home. I'm happy for you...!
Hugs,
Sherry
