Wordless Wednesday-Snow High Above the Hudson River

Snow high above the Hudson River was what I saw today.  It started with a request to show one of my Rhinebeck listings.  I was about to give the okay to show when I suddenly remembered the Blizzard from earlier in the week, so I decided to go check on the property.

I had a lunch date with my daughter so I had to make sure this was okay with her especially since she was doing the driving.  We got to the property and I was delighted to see the driveway was plowed. Then I saw this scene which I found breathtaking.  The very white snow in the foreground framed by tall mostly leafless trees and in the background the majestic Hudson River and Catskill Mountains

Hi Jennifer, I really enjoy your pictures-you live in such a beautiful area!  I remember how in awe I was when I crossed the Hudson at Newburgh when heading over to Massachusetts.  How beautiful!  What a river!

Jennifer, There's something about the tranquility of those snow pictures.  I like looking at the picture but not experiencing it in person.

Hi Jen,

Beautiful! This may sound strange, but you said the driveway was plowed, I assume the owner does it, right?

Jennifer - I can imagine those of you in the north east part of the country are ready for a little relief from the weather.  Yet, your picture is amazing.  It could just as easily be on a greeting card.

Sorry I am just getting back here.

Hannah that was my thought too.

Richard That's what I am afraid of that there is much more to come.  I have to admit though, fresh snow is so beautiful.

Joan I hope it will get sold soon.  We are a positive bunch so I know we will have a good 2011.

Mary I know in your area you will certainly see a few blizzards and I look forward to your get photos.

Bruce you really need to go over other Hudson Valley bridges to see the stunning views.  Yes I really appreciate the fact I get to live in such a beautiful area.

Marchel- I too prefer to observe the snow from a window but the fact is, I do have to get outside.  When I see a blizzard like the one we just had, I have to wonder how I survived those winter commutes for so many years.

Lynda yes the seller takes care of the plowing.  I would be dangerous with a plow :)

Steve that was exactly my thoughts.  So much eye candy in nature.

Chris that it is, cold cold :) 

Bill thank you.  I is my hope it will be a great year for us all.

Missy our local crews did a great job, so we did not have the same issues as NYC.  I know you are going to have a fantastic year.

Donna my daughter and I had a great lunch and we even did a bit of shopping for a gift that was 2 months late.

Diane I have to agree.

Mryl and winter has just began.  Some of my friends took off to Florida, but it has been cool there too.

George I will use this as a postcard.

I know we all have our business plans in plac,e and as members of this positive network failure is not an option for 2011.

Thanks for stopping by.

Here's to a wonderful 2011!!!!
