Urban sprawl, my foot! You do know how very lucky you are, right?

Lovely photos, Hedgerowe. But I'm glad it's YOUR snow.

I really like the composition of the second shot, suunto.

Wow, Equilibrium, that cattail sure exploded, didn't it?

Thanks, mimbrava. If any of my photos are half as good as yours, I am doing well!

Hanh mitakuyapi - Feerless Weeder says I can't just tell you my photos are on photobucket.. I have to stick 'em here. My computer is sloooow, but here's an effort. Sometime between now & spring, they should be on here..

This is an icicle.. Big country in Dakota Land - big icicles. Yes, it really is over 18" across & 7 feet tall.

That's some icicle!

That icicle is an individual in its own right, Pahinh Winh. Beautiful scenes; thank you!

Here are some geese I liked. They're in every cornfield but these were closer to the road than most flocks. mimbrava> I get the biggest kick out of watching birds pull at the fluff for nests. You can mix that exploding fluff into bird nest material offerings. They go to town on it. Pahinh> I like your boughs.
