Does this look a little familiar? Look closely. It's the road in my header. I left home Saturday morning to do some Christmas shopping with my Mom and this is what I returned home to. We eventually got about an inch which is still with us due to the 21 degree high temperature for the past couple of days.
As you round that bend in the road you come out at the top of the ridge that overlooks the river. I've taken a little liberty in playing around with this image and added some poster effects to the photo.
Many of you have seen this little log cabin before when I highlighted the door. I stopped by the park while I was out and discovered Christmas carolers had come to sing at the cabin. The red apple wreaths on the windows seemed perfect for this Ruby Tuesday Christmas post. Be sure to enlarge to see all the details and the blustery snow.For more Ruby Red posts please click the badge at the top and visit Mary our hostess at Work of the Poet. She'll be glad you came by.
Oh, the road looks much better without snow! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the little cabin, looks like good place to curl up in front of a fireplace.
Those carolers are such a heartwarming sight, thank you for stopping and sharing them with us!
ReplyDeleteAmazing, how cold it is in your parts, we can't seem to get down to freezing temperatures this year. There are even roses blooming in some parts of town, and only last week I saw several windows with blooming red geraniums.
Fantastic! I so love that little cabin. And the apple wreathes are perfect.
ReplyDeleteOh yes.. it's the one in the header. So great!
ReplyDeleteMy Ruby Tuesday entries are posted here and here. Hope you can pass by, too! Thanks.
Very nice shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing those pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love country roads even if they're covered with snow.
I love those carolers, too. I've not seen wooden/painted ones before. I wonder if I could get the captain to cut me some out to paint?
The road and the bend are intriguing every season. Who's to know what's hiding around the bend, especially this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteThe singers look reasonably engaged, trying to hit a high key??

The cabin evokes a view of an earlier time. Maybe a bit idealized, I would probably work better with modern plumbing and heat. But the cabin would be nice in the Summer. It looks like just enough snow to melt and refreeze and make for a scary drive. But your road shows the true beauty of the Mountaineer State
ReplyDeleteI like what you've done with the cabin. It looks so holiday-ish.
ReplyDeleteHappy RT.
The wooden carolers are cool (pun?!?) on the cabin porch.
ReplyDeleteCareful driving on that slick stuff!
ReplyDeleteWe just had a few flurries on Saturday -- no accumulation! Thankfully. I LOVE that cabin photo - and especially the carolers! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteThe little log cabin looks so cool with the carollers!
ReplyDeleteI love them all. The carolers and wreath are sweet and whimsical and unlike your first commenter, I think the road looks beautiful both ways. If only the snow stayed as that faint decorative dust! We had bitter cold here too and a touch of snow but not enough to be a nuisance. My kind of snow.
ReplyDeleteAll the shots are so romantic! Beautiful atmosphere of Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThe carolers are so cute, the enlarged picture is fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteYou always have something interesting! Great shots. Love the cabin and the carollers.
ReplyDeletePretty, but brrrr... Those poor carolers look frozen through, positively wooden with cold ;-).
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference in the picture ! you should take one of each season ! Would be interesting !
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice cabin and those wreaths are gorgoeus! Have a good RT!
ReplyDeleteI love the wreaths with Red apples.
ReplyDeleteYou catch in all these pictures, the spirit of Christmas, Carletta.
Snow really makes everything very pretty unless you have to drive in it..LOL..
ReplyDeleteThe carolers make such a nice welcome to the cabin.
ReplyDeleteSnow in WV! I guess winter is moving southward.
Carletta, these are all WONDERFUL! I so love views down a road, and I love the cabin scene. Just gives me a homey feel.
ReplyDeleteYour place looks like a fairy tale!!!
ReplyDeleteI like that log cabin, it's kind of cute, with the apple wreaths at the windows!
Love it! Perfect Ruby Tuesday post, and beautiful photos as ALWAYS.
ReplyDeleteIt's been so cold here too, down in the 50's at night, up in the 70's during the day! Some nights I actually have to turn the heat on, lol.
I like the pictures but hate the snow. We got over a foot with blowing wind.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteThe carolers look a little chilly. We had that kind of weather last week. Today is in the 40's and raining. Thanks for stopping by my place.

I like your header better. :) Seriously, I think snow is beautiful but it makes people have "stupid attacks" when driving so that's the reason I don't like snow.
ReplyDeleteI bet that road gets very slippery at night!
ReplyDeletelove the carolers!!
That road draws me in. It makes me want to follow it to see where it goes. I love the apple wreaths. I've never seen that before, and the effect is at once simple and elegant. The carolers are a fun surprise too.
ReplyDeleteWe do indeed seem to like a lot of the same things.
Love the carolers and what a lovely road! Great photos! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI recognized it! :D It's lovely in the snow.
ReplyDeleteall the photos are wonderful, I love the red apple wreaths on the windows and those carolers are cute..
ReplyDeleteCarletta: What a neat capture of the cabin, really cute.
ReplyDelete"Poster effects?" What photo editing program do you use? I use Google's free Picasa.
ReplyDeleteLovely road and cabin, the real winter feel.
ReplyDeleteLove your snowy road home with the lovely fog effect in the second picture, and the carollers are such fun and so fitting for the season.
ReplyDeleteThat cabin is so cozy-looking. I love the apple wreaths and the carolers look friendly.
ReplyDeleteThe snowy road is a taste of things to come..winter is almost here.
Happy Belated Ruby Tuesday!
Love the snow scenes of the curving road. Really does make one wonder what's around the bend.
