More snow pics

I took some more snow pictures today!



This was the view that greeted me when I stood up in the morning. Apparently it had snowed through the night.



This is what it looks like when you actually can see something:





















And then I did something useful with the snow on my balkony. It was supposed to become a camel, but because of its sturdy legs and short neck, I thought it rather looks like a turtle, so I quickly adapted and made it what it clearly wanted to be LOL

It looks lovely! I adore snow so long as I don't have to drive in it. *g* If I have to be cold, it should at least be pretty when I look out the window.

And I love the tortoise. I know you were going for camel but when I saw it I immediately said TORTOISE!

Well of course once I realized that it never would become a camel I changed it ;) (question: Is there a difference in the meaning of the words "turtle" and "tortoise"?)

I agree that it looks much more prettier from inside. Did you also see the pictures I posted yestrday? They are from 2010, even more snow back then.

Three things:

1) Holy cow that is a lot of snow for Dresden. Admittedly, here in Minnesota, we have had several snows already this winter that have dropped at least 7 inches (approx. 18cm).

2) I LOVE your snow turtle. Very creative!

3) Turtles and tortoises are both reptiles. Turtles spend most of their life in the water and tortoises spend their life on land. They have adaptations for their respective lives. This is really the only difference that I know between the two.

Thank you for explaining - so far I used turtle for everything that had a shell, not thinking there was a difference.
