Here we are again. Day two of the snow storm and now things look much more beautiful than yesterday. Miguel and I took a walk around the neighborhood. Many people have no electricity. We are part of the lucky ones.

I love this picture. The background is part of a giant pine tree.
I found this small red flowers frozen in crystal ice. They look so pretty.
This is a tree. All trees look like this but this one had a form that called my attention.
Here is a closeup of the same tree. I just love how the ice and the snow hangs from the branches.
Isn't Miguel adorable holding the dogs who seem to be looking away from the camera? The tree behind him is huge and all frozen. Check the icicles.
Do you really believe Miguel is camera shy? Here, he posses between two trees.
I never imagine I was going to see my poor "pulgoso" covered in snow. Notice the icicles on the side mirrors. Notice the snow coming up to the front of the car. My car is stuck.
This photo reminds me of the entrance to "Narnia." The light post is on the far back. You can see it.
This is our street. NICE!
This tree shines because it the sun is hitting it. It the brown are the dead leaves but they are inside frozen ice.
No one will be using the tennis court for a game any time soon.
This is a view of our street and our neighbors' front yards. The picture was taken from our front door. It is sideways.
Miguel in front of a tall Pine tree.
Miguel right on our front porch. Three behind him is a pine, the spot on the picture are snowflakes.
Is it cold? Yes, but both Arrugas and Frijolito are finally exploring the backyard. Needs are needs.
This is one of my favorite pictures. It is the gate that separates the backyard from the drive way. You can see my car. I'm in the backyard looking out.
This is the spot where Miguel is standing. We do that a lot. I take a picture of him; he takes a picture of me.Notice my coat. The snow is coming down fast. But we are enjoying it.
When we first arrived, this tree was very green and full of white flowers. It was my mark to identify our yard. Now, it is frozen.
These are treetops, the picture is taken from the street, looking onto the park who is a few feet below the street level. (The street becomes a tunnel over the park.
Here is our backyard once again. But this is early morning before I start walking on it. I love it.
Of course, we couldn't miss the opportunity to have our picture taken under a frozen tree. Don't we look happy? We even have matching scarves.
