When I was a kid, and there came a fresh snow, I would put on my boots, take the dogs and just go! To see what kind of tracks we could see, which amounted to rabbit tracks, and maybe bird tracks, and mice. It was a whole new world..even though I had been over every of acres and acres many times before, it seemed new when it was snow covered. If the snow was heavy on fence posts, or on a limb, or just anything, I did not hesitate to take a bite of snow from it. And we always made snow cream. I don't think I would do either now.

It's probably best not to eat it now, but I'm glad you have the memories.

I like that one icicle hanging from the snow. No, I would not make snow cream not either.

a lovely memory - as for now; depends where you reside, of course, but if well into the countryside or high mountains, it might still be worth a go! YAM xx
Snow held much more appeal when we were young. I could stay out in it for hours.
The fresh fallen snow does look pretty.
Take care, enjoy your day!
Agree on eating snow. As with me...but it's river water for me.
Gotta tell you a story...
When I was a kid, I used to scoop up water from the river and cup it in my hands. The icy water was great. Then, one day, walking along after drinking water from the river, camping upstream, a woman was washing out a poopy diaper!! That was the LAST time I ever drank river water.
A great story from yesteryear to accompany this shot! I wonder what "snow cream" is. Sounds interesting.
back in the mid 50's we made snow cream every time it snowed and also ate clean snow. not now, I am with you. our world is not clean now. its a beautiful photo
We used to make snow cream too. Lovely snow covered branch
That's funny that you took a bite of the snow dangling from the trees when you were a kid, Rose. This is my second Winter here in the mountains, and I am still fascinated with the first snowfall.....and the second and third. ; )

Beieve you are a young kid once again . It is as simple as that :))))))))))))))))))
Snow is a dream for me, and I could imagine how exciting it should be for you as a kid experiencing snow. Nice bunch of snow over there.
Magical and special times when we were children.
Wonderful photo.
That is so beautiful. I love the snow laden boughs.
Never grew up in snow country but I probably would have made snow cream too..

Taking pictures is a good alternative to eating the snow. Beautiful image you have here.,
I still like to head outside when it snows. : )
i love your pine tree with the heavy snow bending the the limbs Rose... we are surrounded with spruce trees so we get to see them all winter long... i used to do many of the things that you talked about when you were a child....peter:)
Same with me as a kid. And I remember snow ice cream. We begged my mom to make it whenever there was a good snow. Nice snow image.
I remember my mother making snow ice cream when I was a kid. The snow just changed everything. A wonderful image and great memories.
