That's My World Tuesday: A touch of snow for the season

I was raking leaves on Saturday and it started snowing. I didn't realize we had a chance of snow that day.

I grabbed my camera and an umbrella so my camera wouldn't get wet and started snapping pictures.

I didn't think it would amount to anything so I wanted to get some wintry shots while it lasted.

I checked the weather online and it said there was a chance of rain changing to snow when the temperatures dropped which baffled me since it was pouring down snow while I was reading that.

I kept going out with my umbrella taking pictures thinking maybe they had it backwards and it would switch over to rain.

I had to laugh at myself remembering how my daughter used to tease me when I wanted to check the weather report before going outside so I'd know if I needed a jacket.

My daughter would say, mom why don't we just open the door and step outside to see what the weather is like.

It is silly how I rely so much on either the internet or the TV to tell me what the weather is like and then am surprised when I go outside and it's not like what they were forecasting at all.

When I woke up Sunday I went back outside to take more pictures before it all melted.

It was very pretty Sunday morning with the blue sky and snow.

The snow covered the ground but didn't stick on the roads which is my preference at this point in my life. A few trees still haven't dropped their leaves so it was very colorful.

I almost felt like the weather had been intended to give me photo opportunities without the inconvenience of icy roads.

I definitely took advantage of wintry scenes to photograph.
