We got snow!! I live in Upstate South Carolina, and even though we’re in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, we don’t get a decent snow very often. Usually if we get winter precipitation, it’s either rain or freezing rain (which turns into a solid sheet of ice, takes out the electricity, and leaves us homebound because we have to descend a rather steep hill to get out to the main road). However, last year we got a nice amount of real live snow, and this year it happened again! Last weekend we got about 4 inches. While snow is not my favorite thing in the world and my younger siblings were far more excited about it than I was, even I have to admit that it was really pretty and I enjoyed looking at it, taking pictures of it, and sledding in it….
We have a few decent sledding hills, but attaching a sled to the back of the Ranger was definitely a hit with the kids!
Ash, our blue heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) puppy definitely enjoyed the activities. This was her first snow experience, and she dearly loved it.
Like good southerners, we used baling twine to attach the sled to the Ranger. It worked for Nikki and Josh…
…but by the time Katelyn and I piled on, the twine decided it had had enough and kept snapping. 😛
Notice how many of the horse shots involve horses walking towards me. It’s impossible to go out in the pasture and take pictures without big noses in my camera lens! Rocky Mountain Horses are known for their “in your pocket” nature, which is a good thing for everything but photography.
This dog can be the bane of my existence at times, but at least she’s photogenic. 😛
Katelyn and her two favorites, Murphy and Ash:
So enjoyed your pictures! May I ask what kind of camera you use?
Thanks, Toni! I have a Nikon D5200. 🙂 I usually use a 50mm 1.8 lens with it.
Wow those pictures of the horses are gorgeous! You did a great job with those pic! There something so magical about the horses in the snow!

Looks like you had tons of fun!
Hi Briana!
I’m a sixteen-year-old ND girl and despite the fact that I am currently buried in several feet of snow, I wanted to comment and tell you how much I enjoyed this post with such lovely pictures of a “winter wonderland”. 🙂
I have been following your blog for a while now and have loved every one of your healthy, and tasty, creations that I’ve tried. Many of them have become staples in our family (especially the ice cream). 😉 And as a fellow farm girl and horse lover, owned by an opinionated little mare, your posts including pictures of your family, life, and animals have been some of my favorites!
Keep up the good work, Briana!
Thanks so much for stopping by, Anita! Sounds like we have a lot in common!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
Very beautiful photography! My daughter takes pictures also. Here in Washington State. I will have to share yours with her. She will love them! 🙂
Absolutely beautiful photography! We have not had snow here in Arkansas, and may not get any, which is fine with me. Your pics are so nice, I can almost feel like I am there in it with you!
Thank you for sharing these lovely photos, Briana. Photos of the farm, the animals and the snow refresh my spirit. And what fun sledding !
Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures….they made me smile! I use to have a blue heeler she is in heaven now!
Brianna, these are beautiful pictures! Thank you for sharing them with us. In addition to being a chef, you can also be a professional photographer. Love your blog,

Really enjoyed the pictures Briana! The horses, cattle, doggie landscapes, you and your siblings are all gorgeous! Thank you!

Thank you for these wonderful photos. I live in Florida and I so miss snow.
I love your snow pictures!!! And just a wee bit jealous of the snow! 🙂 🙂 We live a bit too far south to get any at anytime. Thanks for sharing the beauty with us.
You are a wonderful photographer, Briana, and these pictures are just beautiful. I love the snow, but we don’t get enough of it to suit me, so I especially enjoy seeing such great pictures of it. Your animals must bring you a lot of joy, and your family seems so very happy. Enjoy your beautiful surroundings and loving family……..and keep those pictures coming! ?❄️??
Thank you for the beautiful pictures! I love snow and rarely get to see it.
Even though we live where we get more snow then we want sometimes, I thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful pictures and the excitement on your siblings’ faces! Thanks so much for sharing. You live at one beautiful area – enjoyed some of the background pictures so much!
