Lewisville residents — human and canine alike — were out enjoying the beauty of a freshly fallen snow.

More Beauty to Photograph

The first snowfall of the season dropped approximately 4-6 inches of white stuff on our beloved Lewisville, providing a myriad of subjects to photograph. As the sun began to break through parting clouds, the best direction to point my camera toward was typically westward. Snow-covered yards and homes facing east were bathed in poignant morning light. The scenes were a delight to my eyes — and visual food for my hungry camera!

After arriving at snow-draped Shallowford Square and photographing it from various viewpoints (see Serenity at the Square), I continued making my way through downtown Lewisville.

Residents were beginning to emerge from their homes to experience the beautiful snow for themselves. Couples were walking together, and individuals were out with their dogs. I found them all to be just as intriguing and beautiful to photograph as the stately snow-covered homes I’d been photographing.

Did it really snow last week, or was I just dreaming?! Frankly, with temperatures reaching into the 70s this weekend, thoughts of snow have left me a bit disoriented!

However, as promised in my previous post, today you can view the final group of snow scenes that I shot last week. This group of photos focuses on some downtown portions of Lewisville, including scenes of the historic Laugenour House, the Lewisville Library and Shallowford Square (shown above), including the Veterans Memorial.

I regret that I didn’t make it further down Shallowford Road in downtown Lewisville before the optimal snow scenes had passed. The next time it snows here, though, I hope to employ a new strategy that will enable me to capture some new Lewisville snow scenes.

To view the final set of photos from last week’s snowfall, please visit the Snow Scenes photo gallery.
