Oh that is simply beautiful Ailema!!! It gave me such a nice feeling! Are you a photographer or would like to be? I think you should be if you arent! I dont have any winter pictures to share with you, I would if I did. This is what I meant when I said that snow was pretty, its nice to look at, but to deal with that everyday, blah! Hate it. lol Bay Lay Gray xx

photo - snow
This is really gorgeous... lovely lake and lovely photography skills. Love how the lake is framed by these lovely trees. I can almost imagine how the lake looks in spring and winter too. I would love to share my favourite winter pic with you. this is of snow, taken at night. You can see the frosty flakes and the wonderous clean feeling it gives to all when it falls, especially overnight!

THat's a very beautiful photo. I don't have any beautiful photos yet myself of anything but I do love winter. We don't have a lot of snow all the time so any of my winters would have been from years ago. I remember once the snow was piled up so high it was almost taller than our cars. My dog used to love the snow too, she would get so so excited to go out and play.
