Still Life with Snow Boots

It's snowing here, but not too much. We consider ourselves southerners and do not know how to drive in snow, which is really pretty infrequent here in Baltimore.
There's a big pine tree outside of my office and I took a couple of pictures of the snow on it and then another of Tivoli House.
Because I have to walk Connor several times a day, rain or shine, hot or cold, I bought a great pair of winter boots at Target. They look very nice and are fleece-lined, which makes them great for long dog-walks. I had some of those fun Tamara Henriques ones, but they are crap in the snow and cold because they're not lined. Here's my still life with snow boots. Too bad I can't have a roaring fire going in my fireplace on a day like this!

  2. Beautiful! ANd the boots look great! I still have vivid memories of my one and only trip to visit my cousins in Baltimore. It was spring and the magnolia trees were in full bloom. It snowed overnight, and the morning scene with a fresh blanket of snow and the magenta lavendar blossoming Magnolia tree was breataking. It was such a fragile moment. The tree lost all of it's withered frozen blossoms the next day

  4. Nice boots from Target. My feet stay toasty because I always wear thick wool socks -- all of my boots are unlined. We are looking for more snow in New Jersey. What a winter!

  5. Love the snow photographs...and nice to think we were out taking pictures at the same time today. I had my $40 army surplus boots on ~ not terribly stylish, but oh-so-warm!

  6. Comfy looking boots.

    Enjoy the snow - I hope it doesn't get too tedious.

    We here in Southern CA are trying not to rub it in, but I spent a lovely morning on the beach yesterday.....

  12. Why is it that dogs love to romp in the snow so much? They never get cold and we have to stand there shivering with our noses running and eyes watering enduring the freezing temperatures because it makes us happy to see them frolicking.
