Yesterday evening, East Tennessee became covered with an unexpected snow that blanketed everything in sight. Luckily, it was one of those dry snows good for making a snowman and perfect ammunition for good, old-fashioned snowball fighting.
Then, as the sun rested behind the mountains, the lavender hues sat into play as the snow fell massive and beautiful. As I was taking pictures, I briefly stopped. An extraordinary feeling of serenity and peace surrounded me. It was like nothing else in the world mattered--not bills, not work, absolutely nothing but the indescribable feeling of a priceless moment in time.

Hi, Dragonmamma! Thanks for the comment. Yes, I did, and it was so beautiful and peaceful outside when I took them.
Yes, beautiful pictures (and thoughts). A good snow does have a way of changing the way we see things.
Thanks, Val. It was just indescribably beautiful and so quiet.

I always enjoyed Snow Falls - the utter silence interrupted only by the ever so slight whisper of snowflakes landing....
Beautiful! :0)
I agree, Jeanne. I love that feeling. It's like time stops and the only thing there is peace and quiet.
