The First Snowfall of the Season

It was another October morning as I woke up and saw to my surprise, that the world was covered in a blanket of white. It seems that the snow comes earlier ever year that passes. I couldn't believe that just days before, I had spent a day at the lake in the sun and now winter has come. Seeing the large flakes that fell like balls of cotton was a familiar sight to see. At first I thought, “Why does winter have to come so soon?” but I started to notice the beauty of it all.

I had to grab my camera to document the appearance of the season’s first winter wonderland. I looked out my window and saw how the droplets of water gleamed in the defused light of the snow-covered mountains beyond. I was intrigued by the white misty fog as it drifted across the rooftops before me. I enjoyed feeling the cold brisk air as I stepped outside to observe the snowflakes falling upon the bench outside my door. I had to capture the moment of the snow melting off the red autumn leaves.

It was a great sight to behold, everything white and pure; something that I have truly taken for granted in years past. Though I don’t enjoy driving in the snow-blanketed streets, I have seen the great transformation of the changing seasons. It was amazing to see how the snow melted almost as quickly as it came. Just the next day, all of the winter wonderland that I had beheld was nearly gone without as trace of its presence. It was just a quick glimpse of what is to come and enjoy this coming holiday season.
