The first snow we had this Fall was on November 2. It came down thick and heavy, though it melted away quickly in the next day or two. Each year as I see the first snowfall of the season, I stare in wonder, perhaps due to the transformative nature of it. This day was like being inside a snow globe. Snow is my mental connection---more so than rain or sunlight---to eons past, to times in which early humans huddled in cave shelters around fires to stay warm.They felt similar flakes on their cheeks and eyelashes. Perhaps their children stood with faces upward to catch snow flakes on their tongues, just as modern children do.

@Arnd: Thank you, Arnd. I appreciate it.
@Ronnie 2¢: The silence is lovely--the muffled hush, and sometimes the sparkle on some types of snow. And right, the slush, the shoveling, the grittiness from sand/gravel to prevent slipping!
@Mary: Thank you, Mary!
@ordinaryimages: Thanks, Jim, for your comment.
@Richard Geven: Thanks, Richard! That's great, that it looks familiar. It's interesting how various architectural styles can span a country and then the world. Here in Omaha we have a vast variety. There is no one style that is prevalent, due in part to the age of the city and its location. We have it all...colonial revival (which is the brick [red] house you see here), Spanish, Victorian, Arts & Crafts, modern, current. It's quite a jumble!
@Jim: It does indeed! thanks for your visit and sympathetic comment.
@Ted: Thanks, Ted, for visiting and commenting. Glad you enjoyed reading the text.
@franz: Thanks, Franz. I appreciate it! A chance look out the kitchen window had me running for the camera. But it took a few months to get processing that looked right to me.
@Maria: This is from my back window, looking across at the neighbor's house. :) Nice idea, about the card.
