Awesomeness

February 3, 2010 | Filed under: Stuff

Is that a word? I’m not sure but I couldn’t think of another word to describe this sky I snapped while snow shoeing yesterday. (NOTE: NOT Photoshopped!)

See? Awesomeness. Unless you have a better word. Go ahead and try. I’ll pick a few faves and winner can have a copy of one of my books. Except for Slow Heat, because all of you have run out and bought Slow Heat and already have it in your possession … right? :razz:

    gnarly pic jill! beyond righteous ;-)

    seriously, it’s a lovely picture. i love the faint touches of green/purple in the snow and the purple clouds. how’d you do that? i don’t think it’s photoshopped right?

  2. Crystal says:

    Awesomeness pretty much sums it up. Humbling also comes to mind. Nature often leaves me speechless.

  3. Stacy ~ says:

    It’s breathtaking, with that brilliant blue sky. God’s masterpiece :)

  4. Cindy in VA says:

    Why does your snow look prettier than mine? :cool:

    Maybe I’ll take my boys on a walk in the snow today and see if I can find some pretty shots. This is day 5 of being snowed in.

  5. Sabrina says:

    How about majesticful.

  6. Jim says:

    How about supercalfabulouse…must be “nice” to see that ofter. Unless you have to shovel.

  7. Pat L. says:

    Was going to say Majestic, but Sabrina kind of beat me to it – it is truly beautiful. How about “A sight to behold”. Or perfect subject for a painting – I know, I know not “ONE” word.

  8. Jennifer M says:

    It’s a beautiful picture!
    How about wondrous!:grin:

  9. Jennifer M says:

    It’s a beautiful picture!
    How about wondrous!

  10. Jennifer M says:

    Ok sorry about that, (it submitted twice) clearly I need to have my coffee before I type!

  11. shannon says:

    Gorgeous! I have discovered this winter that it isn’t so much the cold or snow I don’t like it is the unrelenting grayness of a European winter.

  12. Ang says:

    How about fantabulous? Please tell me you didn’t photoshop it.

    BTW…my daughter was excited to see you used the word awesomeness. She and her aunt (my sister)use that word ALL the time.

  13. Amy M says:

    To me, it looks magical. I love the snow, and with a beautiful background like that, I could sit inside and just watch nature do its thing!

  14. limecello says:

    Awesomeness pretty much sums it all up. And it makes me want to say awesome sauce.
    The sky is bluer than blue. The picture is beyond gorgeous and I’m so jealous. Heh. Jealousy is no longer green, it’s blue.

  15. Liza says:

    I have to agree that awesomeness sums up that picture pretty well. I agree with Stacy it could be described as God’s masterpiece.

  16. Randi says:

    It’s beautimous! (and that’s not a word either!)

  17. Kara says:

    Awe-inspiring….

  18. Ashley says:

    Awesmazoolious! (awesome, amazing, cool, rightious -this picture is definately all of these!)
    No worries Jill, according to Urban Dictionary awesomeness is like totally a word! lol
    Almost done with Slow Heat, I think awesmazoolious fits here as well!

  19. M says:

    Breathtaking. But, it’s as close to snow as I care to be. It went down to 50 last night here and I turned the heat back on! I got Slow Heat yesterday. Woot!

  20. Joyce Z says:

    I can’t think of a word to top awesomeness. This photo is simple beautiful. Our snow in Connecticut doesn’t come close, so I love seeing yours.

  21. CrystalGB says:

    Gorgeous photo. How about euphoric. :grin:

  22. Jill says:

    Nope, didn’t Photoshop it.

  23. WendyG says:

    Not a real word, but one of my favorites….beautimous!

  24. Kelly B says:

    My first thought was McStunning! But I also think I have a shot with McDreamy. What can I say?

    BTW…Slow Heat…one word…MCEXCELLENT.

    Can’t wait for the next one.

  25. jenifer says:

    Gorgeous! Dare I say bluelicious?

  26. Lori says:

    Wow, that’s gorgeous! How about stupendousness?

  27. SonyaM says:

    GREAT WORD. Dictionary: 1. An unmeasurable amount of awesomenimity something can produce. 2. the state of being beyond awesome.

    You pic is defintely God’s greatness. Thank you for sharing.

  28. Caroline says:

    Can I be vulgar? Yes? Ok then. That view is just “fanfu*ktastic”. Now is that a word or what! Caroline x

  29. Kathleen says:

    Only one word to express it heavenly or majestic or magical… Okay so that was three… But I could go on and on…

  30. D says:

    Awe(sigh), this is why we live west of the Rockies!(and not in big cities).

  31. cheryl c. says:

    Spellbinding! :shock:

  32. Donna M says:

    :smile: Glorious! Your pictures amaze me. You live in such beautiful country. Mother Nature smiled on that area.

  33. Toni Anderson says:

    Fabulous, Jill :)

  34. Karin says:

    Awesomeness is a pretty good word to describe that picture, Jill. I love it. It’s absolutely gorgeous.

  35. Veronica says:

    I would have to envious. I live in Wisconsin it is very flat here.

  36. Brandy says:

    Superb. But, I like your awesomness better. Truly beautiful.

  37. catslady says:

    Empyrean! Honestly it’s a word. I looked up etheral (my first thought) and found it – means celestial or heavenly.

  38. Jane says:

    How about prodigious.

  39. trish says:

    Incredible!

  40. Rachel says:

    Word Defying. I think that a moment of great beauty like that is worthy of only silence.

  41. Stephanie says:

    Giant Marshmallow!!! And breathtaking!

    And yes I ran out and got Slow Heat, it is less than a foot away from me right now!

  42. Bobbie says:

    Awesomeness sounds good to me. BTW, finished the book a couple of hours ago. It was another AWESOME book!n Loved it!

  43. kim h says:

    its a puff of cottonBall of coolness lol
    great word Jill :smile: :cool:

  44. Chelsea B. says:

    How about Unique-to-the-E!

  45. QLady48 says:

    Looks like a glorious sky and day!! Congrats on your release!!! I didn’t get to the store yet but I plan to pick it up later this week. Thanks, Sue

  46. Linda Henderson says:

    I would say it’s a sumptuous display of clouds over a winter landscape.

  47. Jinky says:

    I’ve only got one word for that picture, and that word is: DUDE.

    Seriously. That blue is freaking wicked.

  48. Wilma says:

    It’s beautiful, I’d love to live there.

  49. Rebecca Booth says:

    We had snow for the first time this year in North Carolina. I had a chance to play with me grandson during this time. A wonderful time together. The picture is beautiful. What a contrast between the blue skies, the trees, and the reflecting white snow. I agree it’s awesome.

  50. Heather says:

    I’m a big fan of “EPIC”…which this picture is!

  51. Eshani says:

    How about “Sublime!” This actually makes me think of Sunshine (how I thought of sunshine ;-) ), and laying on the grass trying to name the shape of clouds ;-) Yes, I am completely and blissfully ignoring the snow on the ground.

  52. Eshani says:

    Opps – I meant to say (how I thought of sublime..)

  53. RobynL says:

    Majestic Beauty

  54. Diana says:

    This isn’t a real word, but how about nature-rific?
