A Winter Wonderland — Falls Church, VA

December 10, 2013

Two consecutive days of winter weather in the DC-Metro area turned the region into a winter wonderland. Once the snow, freezing rain, then more snow did their deeds and the skies became friendly the children came out to play. They took full advantage of the fresh snow that covered everything. They played in the snow, threw snowballs, sledded down every decent hill, and built snowmen. I went out with my camera to capture some of these moments in the Falls Church area. It was great seeing everyone having a great time.
