எல்லாம் Black and White-ல் தெரிகிறதே...

It was the first real big snowfall out here this morning and the entire place was up in royal black and white. Yes, those two accounted for 98% of the colors outside when I set off for office till I saw some skyscrapers downtown, cleaned up driveways and new cars in a showroom. There were a few snow showers earlier in the season including one scary freezing rain on Valentine's day when we were forced indoors but nothing to beat this - it was fresh snow everywhere, spotless white everywhere and it was indeed a sight to behold.

The trees stood majestic with snow caps on each of its branches. And there are these bushes near the entrance of my office some of them beautfully perched out of compound walls - all draped in white. As the wind blew over hard, they were just like white teddy bears hanging from trees.

And one thing I just love - walking in semi hardened snow. There would be an extra grip on the shoes and we won't slip and fall. Infact it would be safe at some places to walk on snow rather than the sidewalk. I ventured to do the same but my feet went about a foot deep into the snow and so I had no other option but to walk on the road :-)
