I am so enjoying rediscovering winter through my kids' eyes!
Watching them explore new snow fall
surprise at difficulty in walking
gasping shock of snow on the face
slippery discoveries of packed snow and sleek ice
differing sounds of a snow-muffled world
unexpected heaviness
giggles and gasps of beginner sledding
Listening to them wonder aloud
Why is it harder to walk in snow?
What happens when snow falls on ice? snow? grass?
Why does snow turn to white "ice" when it's driven on?
Why do my footprints have a drag shape behind them?
How can there be different kinds of snow?
Showing them the mundane
and sharing the beauty and delight
Snow in the headlights from a moving car
Wan winter sun rising gold
turning snow to jewels
The sparkle of frost on cars
icicles' cold beauty
Fairly-land of closeup observation of freshly fallen snow
Visible breath
Imaginative snow shapes
Crisp cold air and purple shadows
Winter wonders
ready for rediscovery!
