So the snow came in on Saturday... and given that it was still October (29th to be exact) I figured it would cease at some point. It did not.Instead it continued to come down as myself and countless other college students braved through the falling flakes and stirring winds to make it, in our wintered-down Halloween costume, to a spooky celebration of our choice.
The next morning however, the sun back out, I surveyed my white college campus grounds and realized that I and fellow trick-o'-partiers had been quite lucky. Countless trees had cracked at their branches and come down in the middle of roads and on the sidewalks, fortunately there was no college kid, making his/her way through, caught underneath.
Given that all were safe (though some cars were less fortunate and power outages were experienced in surrounding areas) I could look around and appreciate how strangely beatuiful this snow and tree strewn new playground looked. And man oh man did I wish I had a camera on me. Specifically a digital one, batteried up, rather than my film roll-less manual. Luckily that's where Levi (featured on drums in Fall Freestyle) stepped in. Here are some of his photos of Mother Nature dressed up as Father Christmas for Halloween:
The tree trunk above looked cozy and large enough for a squirrel and myself to curl up in.
Anyway the snow's slowing melting now and I've gone back to a lighter fall jacket again...Here's hoping, as pretty as it is, this is the last snowfall I see atleast till mid-Dec.
At Present: Listening to, Beyonce - Love on Top Wishing I was, eating a bag of Miss Vickie's Jalapeno chips (I was too lazy to stand in line)
