Tyger in the snow

While this is Grandson Prince Tyger's second winter, it is the first winter in his life where he has been able to appreciate what snow really is.  And this year, the repeated snowfalls in Washington, DC have been extraordinary.  Although the city has now dug itself out and is daring to anticipate that Spring might actually be around the corner (after all, the "official" beginning of Spring is next week), it has been but a few short weeks since the streets were snow-packed and white and automobiles were practically unusable ... as can be seen here, on Prince Tyger's street.

So, what did Prince Tyger think about all this?  Well, at first, he wasn't too sure.  It's pretty scary when there are white walls along the sidewalk where you like to walk and those walls are taller than your head.
But so long as Papa (Big T) was around to reassure, it turned out that this snow stuff might not be so bad after all.
You did wonder, however, where everything familiar might have gone, especially when Papa wasn't right beside you.
But then you got caught up in the wonder of it all.


And then it was FUN!
