Oh my son would be so jealous of this... he is longing to build a snowman. We get lots of very cold winds and rain, but rarely any snow. After a Californian hot heavenly Christmas, this sure looks like a good alternative. FUN!!!

Guess he's painting in oils as the water for the acrylics might freeze. :)

I cross country skied once. I fell almost immediately and couldn't get up. So embarrassing esp as my friend was whipping along. I never did "get" it.

what do we do in the snow? We play and snowshoe and throw snowballs and pretend to like it.

How funny about that photo. I noticed the stance of the painter first.. then the branches on the canvas.. Then I saw the peace sign. He had on a red hat? lol
Hve a safe trip home. Bet your chomping at the bits to get home to your sewing machine with all those creative juices going. ;-)

Love the sledding photo...I'm still looking for the perfect hill around here (and a sled mind you!) Most of the hills we have head to the river...not the best choice! lol

Have a safe trip back home and enjoy the snow! Snow is for playing! And for looking at, and listening to, and reminding you to take the time it takes to get there. ;)

Dear frozen-toed icicle-eater Californian, your post and photos where full of life as always...

Icicles are real fun... Cris says daggers; we used them as horns!

And that picture of the artist is fabulous, both for the message you talked about and for the composition of the elements:that big tree in the foreground, the other one in the background... both accentuating the dignity and worth of the artist who is standing parallel to them .. and you did it all unconsciously dear artist...
Cris has eyes of an eagle noticing that peace sign... all these details make this picture something more than an accidental photo.
Thank you very much for feeding our eyes with the beauties of the life..

Cris, no, I grabbed this shot of the artist in action quickly as we drove past...my mind did not recall the Peace sign there...didn't even see it when I uploaded the photo...thanks for showing it to me!
He had very bold stokes of the tree trunks and branches and that is what I saw. Oh and his red hat.

Yeah, me too. I remember the icicles in Arkansas. They would grow longer and longer off the eaves of the house until finally they would come crashing down under their own weight and splinter on the flagstone patio. I loved looking at them, watching the sunlight make rainbows inside them.

Oh my gosh.. How cool is that shot of the painter....

Oh my gosh.. How cool is that shot of the painter. You're quick with the camera. Did you notice the sign at the base of the tree. says PEACE. ;)Anyway that IS dedication. Not sure I would have that much. LOL
I used to love the ice cicles when I was a child growing up in snow. They are fun to lick on but they can be daggers too. ouch.
Your weather back home sounds about like ours here.
Have a great last day.
