"Whopeeeeeee.. Snow...."

The morning light seeped in through the curtains of our hotel room, forcing us out of deep slumber. The spectacle from the windows was mesmerizing. Everything outside was burried in a soft white blanket. A blanket of snow. Yes. And it was pure bliss. I could feel my face glowing out of happiness and excitement at this enchanting view. 


Our car was covered in the snow too. It was the day we were driving to the great Grand Canyons. With such a pleasant start to the day, we were all excited and got ready to start off. The drive from the hotel to the Canyons was supposedly short (less than 7 miles). But as soon as we hit the road, it started to snow. And in a little time we were hit by a snow storm. And oh my god, it was a beautiful sight. It was compared to nothing i had seen in my whole life. Charming, delightful and more than i could express with words. Even though it was snowing heavily, we stopped at a number of places to take snaps and play in the snow. Ohhh, it was so soft and cold and misty. Well, it was freezing cold. But above all it was a memorable experience. I am sure it wouldnt sound so much fun for those who experience snow every day or  atleast over a major period of an year. But for people like me, hailing from South India and who have just heard/read/watched snow in books/TV, it is spectacular. So was watching the Grand Canyons.


Another one of nature's beauties. Thank you nature, for creating such beautiful things that makes every man gape in awe.
