the last day of winter in pictures

My aunt got me a new camera for my birthday and for the Sicily trip. I wanted to bring something less bulky and much easier to carry around for my first trip abroad. (My Nikon camera is not too nice on my neck, and I’ve learned that the hard way!) Plus, I know I’ll be more satisfied with the photos since I don’t have to worry about settings as much! So, after spending the weekend learning how to use it, I took it out today to snap some pictures of the final sunset of the season…

I don’t mean to turn into a tech blogger, but I’m quite impressed with the quality considering it’s a point-and-shoot camera! I’m so excited to take more photos with it. Thanks, Aunt Rosanne!

I hope your last day of winter was lovely and not too chilly (or in my Arizona family’s case… not too hot!). Hooray for spring!

Today is March 4th, and it’s a snow day here in Connecticut! We got almost a foot last night, so I wanted to share some photos I took this morning. Yes, it’s very pretty, but I’m still counting down: 16 days till spring!

I clearly jinxed myself by longing for springtime in my last post. These pics aren’t even in black and white — no blue skies here.

Aaaaaand probably no gardening for a few more weeks.

Somewhere under that pile of snow lives a bench…

Cool footprints made by my new shoes.

Let’s hope for some warm weather soon! xo
