Snow Day in Terrell, Texas

Today I was lucky enough to have my feeding day fall on the wettest, coldest, and eventually snowiest day so far in 2011. Although the day started off with a cold heavy rain, after noon the snow began and several hours later I was able to photograph these snow scenes.

Vizsla dogs enjoy the snow

One of the highlights of this snowing spring debut, was photographing these two Vizsla siblings having one of their practically endless play fights.
Although it may seem a bit intense, they always end up laying together while resting afterward.
The Male dog is Remy, he has the collar. Kiwi is the female without a collar (because Remy removes it within a few days).

First Day of Spring in North Texas?

Yep, I woke up to find 2 inches of snow on my truck and it was still snowing. It had snowed all night. The drive to the ranch was a bit challenging on the bridges, but once I got there it was quite a sight. By the end of the day the temperature had crept up to 42 degrees F but the wind was brisk, The snow had melted leaving just a few patches where it had drifted or piled in the shadows.

Here are some of my favorite landscape images from the day.

Snow Day in Mesquite, Texas

We were treated to a full day of snow in North Texas today. It started about 5am and is forecast to go on at least off and on until midnight. I got out to take some photos about 3pm and found this flag scene at my Apartment entrance. It sort of reminded me of what I saw on TV of the big snow in Washington DC. This is to show them we had our on little (7 inch) Snowmageddon here in Texas. The photo below is of some folks enjoying the snow when it was at the heaviest. Here is a Gallery with more photos from Mesquite.
