Hidden Beauty

In the deep of winter (and particularly under all of this snow) I really start to miss my home of sunny southern California. Yes, hard to imagine, but I miss the warm sun, the sand that always makes a mess, and especially that the only coat I need in the dead of winter is a sweatshirt. I miss not having to worry about freezing when I decide what to wear everyday. For now, I don't really have a choice. So as I was bundling up to walk to class the other day, I realized we live in such a beautiful place! The snow changes everything and makes it look so COOL!

 

The mountains reflect a thousand different colors at sunset and the trees add silhouettes against the evening colors. I love that I can take these pictures when I'm walking from my apartment to class, that I get to see such unique scenes every day.

I love where I live! I love being here and actually seeing seasons, something missing from my hometown.  I'm glad I get to play in the snow, enjoy the fall leaves, and enjoy the outdoors in the warm spring weather. The summer I love, but I might shrivel up and die in the heat here especially without a beach! But we'll see how it goes with my first summer in good 'ol Provo!
