Skywatch Friday: Snow in the Smoky’s
The cold weather is keeping me indoors a lot lately, which means no new photos to share. That being said, I have a need to create and decided to use my photo-editor of choice to play with today’s picture, Snow in the Smoky’s.
I bet you five bucks there is snow on the Smoky’s now. The weather has been perfect for it all week!
I’m linking up with the SWF team and invite you to join other photo enthusiasts across the net. Next up, I’m joining Lexa in Celebrate the small things.
I celebrate…
- hot tea, hot chocolate, hot coffee! A hot beverage in my hand makes me warm and snugly all over.
- cozy, fluffy socks and plush sweats! This house isn’t well insulated, so I dressing in layers helps when not active indoors.
- well stocked pantry! It’s very good that we aren’t forced to grocery shop on the coldest days and have the luxury in picking the best day of the week to run errands.
- not living in an area where the temperatures are colder (and stay longer), and the wind is stouter, and there’s lots of snow! I really am blessed living in East Tennessee. We generally experience mild conditions during the winter. The worse part is usually when it’s cold for a long time that any precipitation we get is in the form of ice and that’s not good. ?
- getting rid of a little more clutter! Being stuck indoors isn’t all that bad. It forces us to do constructive things, like throw out things we don’t need anymore. lol
Life should be celebrated, even when it seems like you have no reason to. Just look around, I bet you’ll see something good! What are you celebrating?
One way to celebrate is with Friendship Friday and Friday Features Linky Party, where you’re sure to make new friends and get lots of inspiration to boot! That’s a wrap for now. Before you go, check out my latest edition of Battle of the Bands up next. Have a fototastic day!

Beautiful pic, one of these days I want to see the Smokeys, especially in the winter, with snow on the, where I am in a cabin and don’t have to drive in it for a day or two.

Yes I’m wearing lovely big hand knitted socks in bed these past two nights as it has certainly got colder in our big old house too over here in England 🙂 Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace

LOL, I wear fluffy fleece socks at night to keep my toes warm. I really dislike the cold, especially when the temps dip into the single digits. Lately, it’s been in the upper teens & low 20s and that’s horrible! I’m ready for winter to end. Yes, I’m a big baby!! ? Now, of to visit you!

What a view!! And I love the edit of the light streaks – it’s perfect for the setting. I need some new views to photograph – I’m getting rather bored of the ones near me. I mean, I am never tired of actually looking at them, but they aren’t much of a challenge to shoot anymore. But it’s also minus 14 C – minus 20 something with the windchill, which means you have time to get about 5 shots before your fingers freeze LOL So not optimum conditions right now either.
And I am having hot tea right now because we did just come in from a BRIEF walk to see the winter sunset. We were a little late though tonight – had just dipped down below the tree line. 🙁
