Snow Day in Bellingham

It was the best feeling waking up and seeing that 7:30am text that classes were cancelled for the day! Below are a few photos from my adventure out and about around Bellingham.

This was taken at Lake Padden (the second stop on our outing).

What a better way to spend your impromptu day off from classes than going to some of my favorite spots, playing in the snow, and avoiding having to study for my marketing midterm tomorrow.

The first place we went was Boulevard Park, I’ve posted some photos on here before of Boulevard and wanted to this time around also. I didn’t take too many pictures as it was freezing from the wind off the water, but here is one of my favorites from our fist stop.

Who says you’re too old to play on the playground?

The second place we ended up going was Lake Padden. Hands down, this is one of my favorite spots in Bellingham. Not only to run, but also a place to go and get away from all the busy and crazy nonsense that is college. When we arrived there was no one there. It was amazing how quiet and peaceful it was.

I think this photo was by far my most favorite one I took while at Lake Padden. I love the rolling hills of evergreen trees in the back, and the geese off to the right. It’s amazing how much you can capture in one photo.

It was so beautiful with the white snow covering the ground and trees. I couldn’t believe how peaceful it felt.

What I love most about these photos is the color scheme they all possess. They all have a gray ambiance and a light contrast to them. It makes them seem so much more intimate. This type of feeling is something that is hard to capture, but when I look at these photos there is something that draws me to them. Here are a few more photos below I thought were worth sharing:

I’m hoping for a bit more snow this coming week and more time to go out and capture the beauty that surrounds us in our everyday lives.
