Welcome to the first White Wednesday of 2011 and it's a winter wonderland at my house. We came home from our vacation to snow and the temps have been so cold that it's still all here. Even our ponds are frozen over. I took some photos of my garden area in all it's frozen glory....I tried to capture the frozen clusters on the plants, but the light and my (not so great ) camera weren't cooperating with me. I'd really love a new camera like some of you lucky ladies have been getting lately, but not in the budget right now so you'll have to bear with me and my photo abilities. I hope you enjoy....I know I like the view much better from inside the house than out in the cold...brrr. xoxo K.
I think your photos look beautiful, Kathleen! We have, finally, had a beautiful sunny day on the Central Coast of California, and I am, forever grateful, to be rid of the rain for a while! Happy New Year to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteKathleen it's beautiful! I have to take the boys to the snow....Welcome 2011 and White Wednesday. Ciao Rita mammabellarte

Kathleen your snowman makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your winter wonderland.
The snow was just north of me here in Vegas the other day. Yep just a few blocks up the road snow covered Vegas.
I hope you warm up or stay indoors to keep warm sounds like a good idea.
Have fun and enjoy it for me.

Wow Kathleen you took some really nice shots! My Brother just sent me his California snow photos and you can see his swimming pool and spa all covered, it's awesome! I'm hoping this will be the year we get some up our way. I love the snow man, hugs tami

Kathleen, your pictures look simply beautiful. But why does snow always look so pretty? It's been awfully cold here in MN (wind chills below zero) and I'm sick of winter already. I wish the only snow I was seeing was in your lovely pictures. Here's dreaming! LOL!

How beautiful...to look at! I am not a cold weather girl and we've got more snow on the way at the end of the week here!!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW Kathleen...thank you for hosting!
Did I say happy new year yet? Well, I do wish you another wonderful year. I have a bit of white in my life, but just don't think it is pretty enough to share. The only thing I feel proud sharing is Trinity. Hope it's ok.
ReplyDeleteKathleen,
ReplyDeleteI love the snow photos...I'm having lots of snow here too..in fact, watching the weather now to see what is developing.
Cameras are so blasted expensive. I made the dive for my Nikon D90 early last year. It's professional but I'm not! hee hee..but I'm learning as I go.
Glad to be here for the first White Wednesday of the year!
Have a wonderful day,
Stephanie ♥
Your garden looks amazing! I just love the quiet peacefulness of snow! ... And I love White Wednesday! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteyour winter wonderland pictures are gorgeous Kathleen! Happy WW and TFS! We just retuned from a short trip and i am under the weather. Sadly, i am missing the first ww of 2011! :( so sorry..see you next week though!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures capture winter beautifully. It's gray in the winter...not much you can do about that...haha! but I love gray as I know you do too.
ReplyDeleteYou know I want a new camera too. We're always looking over our shoulders thinking someone elses is better then our own. sigh!
Happy WInter and White Wednesday.....nice to participate for a change! haha
