I thought I had posted the images from Bellarmine during the snow storm but I didn't. So, here they are.... it does look very, very cool. Yet, it is impressive.

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.

Hola Gente!

We finally had our first real snow storm and while everyone is not so happy with it, Miguel and I are trilled!!!

Today, we spent part of the day driving (against many people's desires) around town. We visit our favorite park (now covered on 10 inches of snow) and we also visited a park we often walked to with the dogs....

Enjoy the pics (with little captions) just for fun.

This tree is in Taylor Park, two blocks from our house where we take the dogs for quick walks early in the morning before going to work.

This is me, of course, at the stairs of the tunnel in Taylor Park.

This is Miguel at the same spot.The side of the house, our drive way from the back yard to the street. Can't drive the car forward anymore. The snow is too high for the car.

I figure this picture would give you a perspective on the snow. Our dogs are walking by footprints, which are about 4 inches deep.


This is Taylor Park once again. You can't see the running trails but there are two. The benches are around a fountain, which is completely covered in snow.

This is one of the parking lots at the National Park, about 5 blocks from hour house. People have been skating here... oh, the strangest of our lives.

This photo is at the National Park, by a tree.

This picture is at Taylor Park. Behind us, tennis court, covered in snow. Picture taken by timer.

At the National Park, people are sledding, right behind me. Here, I'm simply posing because I wanted my dogs in the picture.

Our house at the end of the street. You can't see it because the street curves to the right. But yes, this is how it looks right now.

My footprint in the backyard, a yard where there is nothing but snow.

I love this picture. Miguel midway on the steps. The dogs looking down at me. Cool and cold.

A look at our house from the back. I'm standing by the garage. I love it!

Okay, maybe things will be more interested later. I need to take pictures of the school. I'm sure the university looks pretty but since classes were canceled, I didn't bother to go.
