Very nice and your daughter is a gem.
You are a brave man!
But what else can you do when you are snowed in for better part of a year!

At my friend's house in New Zealand, my camera sucks and doesn't really capture how amazing it really is there.

How beautiful and eerie, Snowqueen! You're right, Tallon, gorgeous!
Great photos Snowqueen. The sequence of photos seems to match your signiture; the woods and a lake.
Talon, that is beautiful. Looks like your camera is just fine and the shot is composed well.
Thanks for sharing
Oh! Thanks for your lovely comments Qimi.
Thank you Gilliatt, I didn't notice it until you pointed it out to me. I must say you are a good observer.
I'm glad I shared it with you guys.
Great picture Tallon! New Zealand seems to be a wonderful country.
Thanks guys, it's a shame that i lived in NZ for two years and didn't take many pictures because i had a terrible camera which tended to run out of batteries after every photo taken. Heres a few more from around Christchurch, which get wonderful and strange sunsets which seem to turn the whole air orange.

Here are a few I took over the christmas holidays with my phone.

This is my neighbour Barry - he's a very nice chap.

The red of the letter box seems to add a hint of danger.
Paul,
Nice shots and kind of eerie.
"Nice chap" ? I'll take your word for it, but I would honestly feel a bit uneasy if I were to see him coming down that sidewalk.
.
Ha ha. He really is a nice chap. A more unserial killery type of bloke you couldn't wish to meet. He is called Barry after all. He often goes and stays in his caravan with his wife and their dog Lucy in Skegness.
I don't think they get many murders over that way in Lincolnshire because it's fairly empty....unless of course they've yet to find the bodies...........
This is a picture of a Grand Piano I took in Miami
I see that wonderful pictures were posted here since my last visit. I love them all!
Now I would like to share some pictures taken in Sarajevo during my last vacation.

Olga I loved the last one, makes me feel relaxed somehow..where is the location exactly? is it your hometown or did you take a vacation there?....this place is definitly going in my must-go-to list!:)
Farnoosh, all the pictures I posted today were taken in Bosnia close to Sarajevo, where 1984 Winter Olympic games were taken. Although I spent only 4 days there, I have unforgettable memories of the city. I think if you go there you will like it also. The mixture of religions and cultures (Islamic and Christian) makes the city exotic, plus history. Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in 1914 took place close to Latin bridge, you can see in one of the pictures.
.
Nice photos Olga. I particularly enjoy the one looking up through the canopy of the trees.
Since we are on a winterscape theme, I have a few here from Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford Illinois:

Olga and Gilliatt, I loved your pictures (being a Snowqueen).
Thanks for sharing.
Some recent pictures of my nieces, when they were having good time at our place.

Ahhhh...adorable. I want to give them both a hug. They are both so pretty. I love the ones around the tree but the individual ones are such good portraits; and kids are not easy to take. Wow, your new camera shoots a beautiful clear photo. What kind of camera is it? Bushy sure has the long eye-lashes and big eyes and Shinu has such sparkly eyes. They are both so pretty in their own individual way. I love the last one with Bushy and Frosty. Brooke has a Frosty, too. I love to hear her say the word 'Frosty' - sounds so cute.
Fantastic photos, everyone! I love the snow photos....if it would be sunny here for once instead of straight drear I might be able to get some decent snow photos this week.
I wanted to post these two videos of my granddaughter, Brooke, reading to herself....and me, of course....I was on the phone to my mother when I caught her curled up on the sofa reading her own books. I thought that was pretty good since she's only 2 1/2; but very imaginative.

I love listening to little kids voices. Here interpretation of the stories are quite unique. I think we have a reader here and future member of Litnet! haha....
Olga, all your pictures are beautiful, but I think I like the one with the tree with the red-what-flowers, buds, berries? on it best. I would like to try to paint that someday, if I could. It's probably beyond me at the moment. I also like the one with the swans. So pretty.
Your little nieces are adorable, Snowqueen. Still little, with that sweet insouciance that only little kids can pull off. Loved the movie of Brooke, Janine! I adore small children. That was fun!
Qimissung thank you, that picture is one of my favourite as well, I am learning to paint also :-) I've had some experiences with water colour but now I am learning acrylic painting and the techniques is not so complicated.
I agree with you that Snowqueen's nieces are sweet and beautiful!
Watched the video also and enjoyed it so much! Thank you Jannie!
Oh thanks for the lovely comments Olga! I'm gald you liked my nieces.
Thank you Qimi! It always gives me pleasure to share my pictures with friends like you.
Hey Janine I loved the videos. Brooke started the story saying " ever ever after". :lol: It seems you really had a wonderful time with her.
Thanks for watching, Snowqueen, I know it takes patience and those two were long but I could not cut them very well without losing something. I liked her version of the stories....haha...ever ever after...and at the beginning...you are right...how funny! When I first noticed her reading she was running her fingers down the lines starting at the bottom...hey, maybe she is Chinese....but actually don't the Chinese read from right to left, not bottom to top.
Thank you all for you comments. I love sharing, like SQ said, with such good friends.
Did someone make Frosty for Bushy? It is so cute.
