Strange to say that about snow, but it feels very tactile...Such pleasing texture.
ReplyDeleteNika, Thank you. Visually pleasing, unless you happen to fall in it. When I first went snow shoeing, at first I kept stepping on my snowshoes, and falling.
ReplyDeleteOh, no, don't fall into it! I know, i say that from a luxury of a warm studio in FL, having not seen snow in years...And yet I envy you people with snow outside:)
