As someone whose favorite season is winter, thinking about fresh snow on a Sunday afternoon makes me cherish the freezing cold months. The crunch beneath your feet thickens as snowflakes fall from the sky, and your cheeks get rosier as the temperature drops. Your eyelashes freeze but you don’t mind, the warm cup of hot chocolate in your hands makes it all worthwhile. With icicles freezing, and snow layered on top, it looks as if a photoshoot is waiting with anticipation. Winter is a wonderful time to admire the beauty of nature, and what better way to do so then a chilly walk with friends. If you’re out during a snowfall, stop at a park and watch the snow fall. Everything looks pristine before cars and snow boots turn beauty into mush.
