It's snowing!

It is snowing outside. The gentle snowflakes sailing in the wind and then gently settling on the ground. Everything is covered in a white sheet of snow. It is so beautiful, it is so pure. You look up and you see the Arthur's Seat covered in a layer of snow. Everything is white, everything is pretty.

Tiny snowflakes fall on my head. I am mesmerized by them. I stretch my hands and look up in the sky. Is it real? I ask myself. The beauty invigorates me. I silent prayer comes to lips.

No, it is not my first snowfall experience, I've had many before. But yes it my first, first snowfall of the season experience. One day everything is green and colorful and the next day everything is white. Like the mode of the camera has been changed from color to black and white. The beauty is breathtaking even if you have seen this a million times (provided you have an eye for beauty!). Not to forget the cold, also, takes your breath away (literally). And all you wish is to go inside, in the warmth of the heater. But once inside all you crave is to be out in the snow!   

N.B. Each time I look up the Arthur's seat, it want to go climb it. I will, after the exams though. One day is reserved for Arthur's seat. Anybody else game for it?
