Another Cold Day in the Smokies!

Well, good morning world, it is another very cold day in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. The thermometer at my house this morning said 9 degrees Fahrenheit.....that is pretty cold for Tennessee! And when I think about the fact that I was raised in central Georgia, and lived for a very long time in Florida, it is not exactly weather I am accustomed to. We have now lived in the mountains of Tennessee for seventeen years, and most of those winters here have been a bit mild. It seems that there has been more cold this winter, not heavy snow, not light snow (great for photography with my weddings or other customers), a little bit of ice (no fun...you cannot drive on ice even with four wheel drive!), just very cold. So when I start to think about those spring and early summer weddings, with flowers blooming everywhere, it just makes me happy! Seriously, I love winter time. Being able to experience the beauties of different seasons was one of the big draws for moving to this area so many years ago. And we have had some really breathtaking photography come out of weddings with snow on the ground. It just makes it a challenge to get to them!!! So bring it on! I am ready for the cold and snow!!
