February 2010–
There was a huge snowstorm and the whole city was covered with snow… for at least a month. I was supposed to fly to Florida for friend Kristin’s big birthday and take photographs of the event. Greater Pittsburgh Airport was shut down, no flights in or out. I never made it to Florida for the weekend. :-(. (Happy Birthday again, Kristin!)
For those of you who’ve been following the blog since 2010, it’s a repeat.
You know how I like to take a color photograph that looks like a black and white. This is unretouched.
The big snow was the impetus for my beginning a photo of the day, and I’ve just kept at it since then.
p.s. concerning yesterday’s post of French Pastries here are the details on the “dark chocolate something“- heard from Lisanne at La Gourmandine Bakery and she said”The chocolate cake is called “Royal” and made of dark chocolate mousse with a layer of crispy praline and sponge cake”
I still like it! You know we are always awake at the same time?
Thanks Kathryn. sweet dreams
. Night now
Ruth – That’s a terrific photo! I love that red shovel handle in the bottom right-hand corner. I’ve been following your blog for several years, but I’ve never seen this “first photo” that started your photo of the day. Anyway, just like you, I’m always intrigued by color photos that look like black and white photos. Excellent!
Ruth, that is unbelievable!!! Wonderful pic 🙂
I remember this well because my dear mother was snowed in for about two weeks.
Thanks for the b’day wishes! Glad we live in Florida. Do NOT miss that white stuff.
Glad that was a repeat and not happening now.
Wow, 4 years already?! Love the orange shovel handle in this picture.
Ugh! I remember February of 2010 very well. The best thing to come out of it was your photo of the day.
Winter Wonderland? Great photo
Beautiful pic, Ruth. Love the splash of red. 🙂 That dark chocolate something sounds amazingly decadent.
And – who had the pleasure of clearing that vehicle out?
It belonged to my neighbor. I was fortunate to have a garage!
Whew!
Poor neighbor though.
Oh my, that snow was something!! Yikes!! As for the French Pastries – I would have had to have a taste of each!!!
It’s what it looks like today in Toronto. We got a major dumping yesterday.
Right now, we’re in between snows with the 2nd due early morning. Even so, seeing your photo is a good reminder that it could aways be worse. Thanks, Ruth … kinda. 🙂
What a perfect peek of color amid the otherwise white scene. Nice shot!
