First real snowfall of 2009!

Just a bit of catching up to do, so this post comes a little late.  These photos were taken on October 12th and it is now October 18th!  So, I'm almost a week behind on photos that I thought I would have posted immediately.  Oh well, better late than never, right?! 
Well, I was happy to be home the day of this first snowfall and got to go out and play in it a bit!  I loved the snow, but was very much hoping that this wasn't going to be a precursor to the October of 1991!  That was fun, but I was 8...I would NOT like to do that again.

So, now that I'm done rambling...here are some of the shots I got of the beautiful, pristine snow.

I found it funny that while it was snowing...the association's sprinklers came on.  The one on the corner of my lawn looked like it was dying...shooting straight into the air!

I love how you can still see the fall colors underneath the snow.

My beautiful surroundings...

While playing with my camera, I've been taking pictures of the beautiful surroundings I find myself in everyday. My immediate surroundings that I find in my and my neighbors yards as well as the surroundings in nearby neighborhoods. Like the title of my blog...I'm finding beauty in every day. I think that by purposefully seeking out this beauty that surrounds us every minute of every day, that we can find beauty within ourselves that much easier.

So, now I want to share with you some images that I find to be beautiful in some form or another.
