This week’s theme for Sunday Still is frozen! I figure we can endure one more week of winter scenes and freezing weather in some places, then start dreaming of spring!
This week’s images demonstrate snow and ice appearing in unlikely places at unexpected times of the year.
Most of you already know of my slightly frozen winter road trip to the so-called warm American Southwest.
Upon our arrival to Sedona we strolled around and came across this frozen fountain outside nearby art galleries. At this point, it was cold but had not snowed yet. Despite the frozen water, some of it was still flowing. Photo credit goes to my husband!
The next morning, we experienced unexpected snow in Sedona depicted here by my happy husband (he liked the snow for a few minutes). We did pack for snowy conditions, fortunately, but this much snow really caught us and everyone else by surprise!
This second image shows a beautiful winter scene outside my brother-in-law’s home in Spokane, Washington over Veteran’s Day weekend, in mid-November. We expected the temperatures to be cold there, but this was the first snowfall of the season and it arrived early for this area.
This poor daffodil was unexpectedly snowed upon in early May in South Lake Tahoe. The day before was a warm, sunny day as we left Sacramento. The snow started in the early afternoon and covered the ground for several hours. And to think I entertained the idea of bringing my stand-up paddleboard along!
Whatever your feelings for snow scenes and all things frozen, the subject matter makes for beautiful photos!
“Only mountains can feel the frozen warmth of the sun through snow’s gentle caress on their peaks”

This week, show us your version of frozen for Sunday Stills!
My sympathies to all who are enduring freezing weather conditions. Stay warm and safe!
