The comments to yesterday's post really surprised me. Apparently, 'passel' is used pretty widely in a large part of the USA. It's a small sample size, but I think eastern Canada, northeast USA, and the west coasts of both countries don't use it a lot, and as I said recently, I sure haven't heard it much, if ever, apart from Dad.
===================
Two days ago, there wasn't a major storm, but there was enough snow to bring out the town plows and the driveway blower-people. It also stuck on the fir trees just enough to prettify the park on our walk.
Below, we had walked the path from the top of the frame to where Sue took this photo (she took all photos in this post). It might look a bit problematic for an old guy with a cane, but it was soft and wasn't difficult at all, and the aesthetics were worth any inconvenience.
Lovely fluffy white stuff. It snowed again last night, pelting down enough to white out the highway markings, but so pretty in the headlights.
ReplyDeleteReally like that last photo, so nicely framed.
I think we have missed most of that one.
DeleteTomorrow we enter February with maybe less than an inch of total snowfall for the year. I'm not sure how anyone can deny global warming is having a part.
ReplyDeleteThere are total deniers and then those who just think that it has nothing to do with human activity.
DeleteSnow on the fir trees can make everything look so magical. Changing Sue's coat to red in the photo was a clever idea. It really makes her stand out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your winter adventures. Stay warm out there!
It did look nice. Thanks for the visit and comment.
DeleteI'm glad you had some fresh snow. We have brown. And we have blowing dirt. However your winter looks absolutely lovely! Changing the color of Sue's coat was tricky, well done!
ReplyDeleteSome of the winter could be brown where we used to live in southeastern Ontario near Michigan.
DeleteThe first and last two pictures would make a nice triptych. Have a picture of the tree in the middle with the picture of the two of you on either side. It would be a great Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteThat is not a terrible idea. 👍
DeleteDebby's thinking ahead there. Our snow has gone, washed away by rain.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good idea.
DeleteEchoing what others have said. I like the second photo of the snowy tree best, and the fuchsia reddish coat was well done! That last one is a real winner. Good capture, Sue!
ReplyDeleteThe framing is good.
DeleteVery pretty scenes indeed. And I do like that red coat.
ReplyDeleteRed is the best for photos like that. I have a red winter coat, but I haven't worn it a lot lately because it has been very cold, and the one in the photo is a little warmer.
DeleteYou walk better than I do. Congratulations. I love fresh snow. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not by much. ;)
DeleteI'm impressed that you have been getting out for so many walks.
ReplyDeleteWe try to go daily.
DeleteLovely photo scenes! We have no snow. Bah.
ReplyDeleteBah, indeed. Mind you, one does weary of it eventually, but i am not there yet.
DeleteVery pretty . . . but cold . . .
ReplyDeleteIt has been very cold for a past few weeks -- typical for January.
DeleteThought our recent snowfall covered everything in marshmallow fluff. haha
ReplyDeleteIt was light, thank goodness,
DeleteWell, I'm beginning to se e that you use the snow for something other than skiing. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteI use the snow for limping around in.
DeleteI love the pretty snow! (especially if it's not on the roads) The coat looks great red; you did an excellent job.
ReplyDeleteNo, keep it off the roads.
DeleteI 'prettify' a word?
ReplyDeleteYeah, can't you tell? 😎
DeleteI can see you do take the regular walk in snow. Great idea for keeping fit and active
ReplyDeleteIt isn't much, but we do what we can.
DeleteI envy you. It’s been too cold here to get out for a walk.
ReplyDeleteWe don't go long or far, and we look for somewhat sheltered places if it is windy.
DeleteMother always had a red coat. I don't particularly fancy red, but I wear a red coat, too. Mom would approve.
ReplyDeleteI have a red coat, but Sue really wants one.
DeleteI'm always amazed at what you can do on Photoshop. I often have to ask my brother what to do because it's so darn complicated. You sure did get a passel of snow.
ReplyDeletePhotoshop can be a beast.
DeleteWell done with the red! I must go for a walk!
ReplyDeleteIt's Winter wonderland! And very nice photo with the red. Yes!
ReplyDeleteI think I know what is on Sue's next year's Christmas list! Though maybe no longer, now that you've nailed the art of creating her own red coat with your camera!
ReplyDeletePretty interesting how you re-colored her coat!
