That little dark blob you almost see is what I call a snow bug. On sunny, not-too-frigid days, you can see them crawling along the top of the snow or ice. What we have here are actually two of the little critters doing, um...what comes naturally to all species who want to leave some DNA behind.
This one was taken near a friend's house. It's a lovely pond nestled in the midst of a big city. The willow tree is a magnificent specimen. Too bad they're so short-lived.
Added this one and the following two today (the 22nd). We had a very heavy snowfall for an hour or so early this morning. This pic of part of my backyard was taken through glass which emphasizes the ghostly aspect of the scene.
These two were taken from my front steps (no glass intervening). Yes, I still have my wee Christmas lights up.
Christmas is a state of mind - not a season!

Brrr...now I'm cold. ;)
What gorgeous pictures! I especially like the touch of color in the last two--the glow of amber amidst the stark black and white surroundings--beautiful.
Guess you wouldn't be impressed with the snow flurries we had last weekend, huh? lol
Insect Porn.
Aww pretty pictures :) I'm still kinda glad we don't get snow like you lot do. I'm more than happy to stay well above 0C.
On that note, there is less than a week until Spring fires up and your snow might think about melting. :)
Oh, you never know Anne. I'm easily impressed. :)
Mog - porn, like beauty....:P
Althea, I'd definitely miss snow if we didn't have it. But I could do with less of it. :)
Great pictures, Frank! (Oh, and I'm very glad we're not the only family with holiday lights still outside...)
Thanks Amy. I'm glad to have company in the light department too. :)

Oh, if you dressed properly Beth, you could take it for 15, even 20 minutes. ;)
