Did you ever just want to cry?

Shutter. · Apr 1, 2002

This is NO April Fool's joke.

Could you ever just cry? No, I mean, really cry. Step out of your front door in April and take this picture:

Umm, I have 10,000 pictures with snow in them. I don't need any more. I don't want any more. I want to take pictures of something green. I didn't buy my camera to take pictures of snow.

Did you ever just want to cry?

Where do you live? I could have put the same awful photo myself this morning. At 5:30 no snow, by 6:45 more than an inch it seemed. BTW I wasn't saying the photo was awful, just the subject within it. G-- it seems like it will never stop....every year... it never seems to want to stop....stop....stop....stop.....disgusting.....

Funny, George. We're looking at the same place. I live in South Minneapolis. You must be a bit north/northwest to have it by 7:00?

Its been a nice winter for us, so its hard to complain, but I'm really getting the spring fever!

ha, John, we are in different places right now. I look outside right now and see these pretty freshly snow-covered trees and think I should be out taking pictures. Then I think "been there, done that". lol

Guess I'll have to think of some stills to shoot. :-(

Oh, and I'll save you some.

Look at it this way, Shutter. In August when it's 90 degrees in the shade and all the ice tea in the world can't bring relief, you'll pull this shot and all the other COOOL snow shots out and say, 'Remember when," fondly!

Jim,

Oh, Jim, I'm sorry. But you are really good at shooting snow... Perhaps it's Mother Nature's April Fool's joke on you

I wish you better days soon,

Shutter,

No, I live Southwest of you about 80 miles in a town called Lake Crystal. It is 11 miles west of Mankato, you know the place where the Vikings have summer camp.

Hi Jim,

Snow wouldn't make me cry, we didn't get enough in NYC this winter. I had to go all the way to Utah to get good snow this year. We did get a snowstorm in April a few years ago though, and I got some wonderful shots of snow covered tulips.

Not cool. The plows just went by here in Eden Prairie. Even mother nature has a sense of humor on April Fool's day. Now quick, somebody buy her some Head and Shoulders.

Hi Jody, I guess if I want to be an optimist, I can think that we needed the moisture and we'll now have a greener spring? hoping

Beth, you're exactly right. At the end of every season I'm ready for the next one. That's why I so enjoy living in Minnesota. Four very distinct seasons. I think we have a fall....?

Thanks for checking in,

Oh good, someone to be sefl wallow with ;-) I think I'll take ours though, it will probably melt faster down here in the south. hehe

Just when we think we're out.... they pull us back in again!

Take care,

That didn't sound like pity?!! You insensitive..... ;-) Yeah, I suppose I like this better then NEVER getting snow, but still..... ick! And at this rate, we won't be seeing those tulips you talk about for quite some time!
