I really love snow. Thankfully, here in the Ohio Valley, we don't get enough snow to get sick of it. Usually our winters are fairly mild. This year we've gotten more snow than we have in the past couple of years. Unfortunately though, we got ice along with it this time and a lot of folks are without power around here.
Still the snow makes everything look more beautiful than it actually is, and it's that fantasy that I like a lot.
The last picture above has not been photoshopped in anyway other than to do levels. (contrast, brightness etc). There really was a bright cloud with the sun shining through it onto the tree in the sky. It was amazing and I was so lucky to have captured it!
