I'm so thrilled you liked the pictures! I'm quite proud of the house one, I think it was more luck than skill but it did turn out quite nice. I have many of the same thoughts about those old houses, Lady, I think of all the stories it has to tell, all the events that went on there and now it's just a shell. The country side is littered with them around here but a lot of them are really just homesteading shacks, this one was a little more substantial.Quote:

This year, there is a significant pressure ridge in the bay which was a source for all kinds of oddities, this was the first one we encountered.

This was the second, this one truly looks like a sculpture.

This is a picture of the same feature, just from a different perspective and here you can see a good length of the pressure ridge.

This is one my dad took. That's me, messing with my camera settings.

And this was a scene on our walk back home, this is one the beach, I just love the red of the willow.

Sleepy, I absolutely love those wild boars! You are so lucky that they let you come so close!
Idril, those naturally occuring ice 'sculptures' are totally awesome. We have that phenomena occur, too, but it is in the Spring that one must catch the pictures (that is the best time). I'll have to be quick this year (last year I missed 'em).
The willow photo is gorgeous -- you have some contest-winning material, Idril, just so you know! Glad that you share this beauty with us, thanks! :)
Thanks, Steph, for the kind words.
We woke up this morning, and it was great, a truly "foggy Christmas Eve" (as in the song, lol), complete with frost covering everything - from branch to barbwire. Anyhow, I rushed around and caught some of it on camera, then off to the one-hour photo, and here are a couple of ones I liked:

They're all so pretty! I wish it snowed here! :(
Steph - thanks again :)
Janine -- pretty tree, but I love your lace drapes, totally lovely! :)
Lily, those are awesome pictures, each is so clear and concise. My favorite would have to be the fourth one down. Cool! :)
Happy Holidays, all! :)
Thanks, Kiz, and those drapes are so easy to maintain - just wash and hang up wet. We have finer lace ones, I like even better. I will take some photos soon. This is a funny thing, I like lace and antiques and my son and his wife like all contemporary/very plain; so tonight at their house, I noted he had a lace tablecloth over a small table displaying snowmen....I said "I never thought I would see the day there would be a drop of lace in your house". Come to find out, his neighbor lended him the lace cloth and the tablecloth for our dinner...I just laughed.
I love those snowy Christmas pictures! Wow, a white Christmas - how cool! I really like the one with the picnic benches covered in snow in the background, Kiz. I always think they look interesting in the winter and empty and forlorn looking.
Kiz I hope you are having a great Christmas.
Lily, hard to believe those are Christmas day photos - how warm it must be there. Enjoy the rest of your Christmas - almost over now here!
