This is for Cynde who requested snow pictures. I'll get the digital camera from work tomorrow for those, but I have these from a few years ago.

Beautiful!

I hope to take pics and post finally next week, digital camera finally comes back!

Nice Close ups of the Ice Becky

Here's one from the snow 3 weeks ago, luckily it's only a telephone line and not power lines!!


and this is one of my back garden after the snow last night, thankfully not so much as last time.

another one taken whilst walking in the woods

Becky & Roy I love those shots...
I won't have any snow pics but looks like we're going to get rain this weekend - that's winter for us I'll post some pics later.
Great thread -- any more???

Beautiful Roy!

BRRRRR! Nice pictures...we have the cold now but no snow! Just fog...I wanted to get some pics of it out in the oaks....maybe a project for this weekend! Thanks for the pics Roy and Becky!

Becky, Roy, thanks, great pictures. Keep em' coming!

Becky, are those frozen caterpillars??? I remember my first ice storm when I lived in Washington DC...we had a big oak tree in our front yard and I would just sit and stare at it it was so beautiful...until I had to try to get to work the next morning...took me several tries (along with several other cars) to get up one particularly steep hill. At one point I just sat in my car and cried...LOL!

Cindy -- looks like the flowering heads of cattails to me!! We have a marsh full of them in front of our house.

Josie

Snowing in my backyard 9, Dec. '05

Bob! Thanks! Poor boat all covered in snow...not fair. I love the snowflakes!

NO! WHAT'S NOT FAIR IS WHILE MY BOAT IS COVERED IN SNOW, YOU'RE RIDING YOUR SKI-DOO!!!

lol Bob...I'm hoping to go out on Friday. I have the day off from work, and Michael has a boat survey in Marina Del Ray

Hi Gang this is from a couple of years ago but it could have been last year with all the snow that we got!!!

Hey Freddie! Can't we ban Loo Hoo from the Board?? FOREVER?!

OMG no snow here...we are still sweating in the 80 degree heat...here's a ice photo though...

snow at the beach...and in the harbor...that just ain't right...i tell you what...

bob...i'll play nice...

Timmy...sweating in hell? LOL!

Cynde - Josie is right, those were cattails out in my swamp/pasture.

Roy, your pics are great! They remind me of where I lived in Northern Minnesota with all the trees.

I LOVE to see all the pictures of snow, but I am forever grateful that with the move to FL, my bones haven't gotten cold yet. lol Keep 'em coming!

Somewhere on this computer I have my only AL snowman (well, since what we called "The Blizzard of 93". I'll see if I can dig it up. Was year before last.

Cattails...caterpillars...lol!

Becky, just enjoyed some great Wisconsin curd and beef log!

Mmmmmmm, sounds great Cynde.
Here are some snow pics from today:

Here's my barn


Here's my puppies


Here's a yardstick stuck in a flat spot in the barnyard


Here's one of my draft horses

And a couple more, I was having fun with the digital

Here's me torturing my collie


Doesn't it look like they are saying "can you believe the crap she makes us do?"


And my collie in front of a snowpile

And before anyone asks what the horses are doing in that last picture, the little one was biting the big one to make him get out of her way - she's the boss! I

Great winter pictures everyone! I will have to try and capture some in my yard tomorrow morning. I never thought of taking closeups of the frozen cattails, I hope mine turn out as good as yours did Becky. By the way...on your puppies, does the one have a wrap on his leg or is it just the photograph?
Here is one from today taken just down the street from my house.

LOL Becky! The last one is priceless. I'm with the dog on that one, "Just pretend you don't see that!"

I can't find my tiny little snowman on the hood of hubby's car. It was the only one I'd gotten to make for YEARS!

Becky, fabulous pics! I just love them. I have little reindeer antlers for our wiener dogs...I'll have to take some pics of them tomorrow (in the nice Ca sunsine) They are just magical pics

Tribs, can't wait to see more pics

Jeanine - both the dogs have booties on. They are cold weather wussies! The collie will actually use his head so his front feet don't touch the snow if it's too cold and I don't put them on. LOL, the first time he did it I thought it was a seizure!

Kathy - LOL, he was just not happy being "made" to sit in the snow! Wimp.

Cynde - cant wait to see the Wien-deers!

Beautiful pics everyone!

Ok...went outside this morning and realized we do not have a lot of ice left - not a single crystal on our cattails. This is what I found...

OK tribs send the photos my way and I will post them for you...

Becky..LOL.."i'm not having a seizure, I just don't like the cold...WHY was I born in Wisconsin God?" LMAO...on the booties...

What is a "draft" horse? Does he block the draft coming in the front door? Arn'et those little "cozy" things made out of material easier to use (and to feed no doubt)

LOL Cynde - draft horse meaning one who's original purpose was to do heavy work like pulling wagons, plowing fields etc. Clydesdales, Percherons, Belgians, Shires, and Suffolks are the 5 most common. Average weight on the first 4 are roughly a ton! Mine are Belgians and go 2200-2400 pounds each.

And yes, they do block the draft quite nicely... I've used them as windblocks when having to be out in the pasture doing stuff with them.

The "cozy" idea I just read about on a Vet board for protecting bandages and casts the other day!! Jingle's feet are so small, though, they'd get stuck in the snow and fall off in about 2 steps.

Draft horse, got it. I thought the one above looked like a Clydesdale. My uncle in Aspen used to have a lot of Clydesdales that would pull his big wagons through the fields to feed the cattle in the winter. It was fun riding in the wagon and pushing the hay off the back.

I was going through some old pics, and here is Angel in the snow at my mom's old house in the mountains. She loved the snow!

Awww, cute!

Becky, Angel is a whimp now, she's a Southern California girl...lol! Oh, and at the weight those Draft horses are...that's a lotta horse!

I'll get the wiener-deer pics when I come back from shopping

ok here are the photos that Jeanine tried to post.. Lets see if I have the magic touch..

That was NOT easy!!!

Thank you Freddie! You are the best!

Cool pics Jeanine... some of those icicles look lethal!

Ok...going to try to attempt two more pictures. This time they are of our snowy bird house. The little ones (might be house wrens or sparrows) have taken it over and defend it vigorously. Yesterday I watched them attack a squirrel that was trying to move in on the top floor.

Al the pics are wonderful!!
Thanks for sharing a season that we definitely don't get here.
We're planning on eating Xmas dinner outside on the patio - with long sleeves on though!!!

Last years pics I think but they have that seasonal feel:

Jeannie, great pics. Love the birds in the bird house. Julia, yours is a black box right now
