With winter well underway, I was hoping to have some beautiful pictures of the Minnesota weather to share with you. It is the winters here in Minnesota that helped inspire the Kanin Chronicles, along with a trip I took to Canada and Alaska last year. I love winter, and I love the cold.

So, instead of sharing my own personal pics of winter, I decided I’d post some of my inspiration images from Pinterest. Winter can be cold and awful, but it’s also so beautiful, and there is something so magical about world blanketed with pure white snow and icicles.

Here are a few of my favorite images:
