But pretty, which means I still enjoy pictures. <BR/><BR/>When I lived in Las Vegas, I had the best of all worlds. Wonderful hot/dry climate but, if I felt I <I>needed</I> snow, we could drive up to the mountains. And we had a very active ski club since the skiing was a 30 minute drive away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22689800.post-82023740724440092952009-02-11T00:26:00.000-05:002009-02-11T00:26:00.000-05:00Sal - thanks for the translation.

I used it because it's my favorite shot yet of snow in my usual hangout in Ballard Park. As for more snow... Well, the ground is bare, and it's still Winter. We're having our February thaw at the moment (called "Strawberry Spring" by the old-timers), but we usually get our biggest storms <I>after</I> the thaw. And being a born snow freak, I look forward to it with great pleasure.<BR/><BR/>Iris - will a nice hot mug of <I>chai masala</I> do? And a shot of Calvados in that is <I>really</I> good!<BR/><BR/>Kelly - thanks! That was a tough one to get around in, though. It was the really wet, heavy stuff, and half the trails in Ballard Park were impossible to walk because tree branches and shrubs weighted down with the snow were blocking them.<BR/><BR/>Steph - ah! You wimps down there in Texas! Heh, heh! You can't ski on virtual snow. Or make snowmen with it.Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22689800.post-41093637940067578362009-02-11T00:12:00.000-05:002009-02-11T00:12:00.000-05:00Perfect, my favorite kind of snow: virtual :)Perfect, my favorite kind of snow: virtual :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22689800.post-51518675209539353422009-02-10T22:30:00.000-05:002009-02-10T22:30:00.000-05:00This is an absolutely gorgeous post...I love it!!!...This is an absolutely gorgeous post...I love it!!!!

Though if this scene was close-by, I suppose I would prefer to see it from the safe confines of a window seat by a cozy fire, while sipping a brandy or a Mexican hot cocoa.

Something about the spring flowers and budding trees that makes you feel hopeful and anything is possible!<BR/><BR/>It is a wonderful photo though!Colette Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442660605798634154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22689800.post-70715432595609668532009-02-10T17:31:00.000-05:002009-02-10T17:31:00.000-05:00Interrompendo Por Woods On A Snowy Evening De quem...Interrompendo Por Woods On A Snowy Evening <BR/><BR/><BR/>De quem são estas madeiras eu acho que sei, <BR/>Sua casa fica na aldeia embora. <BR/>Ele não vai me ver parar aqui, <BR/>Para assistir seus bosques enchem-se com a neve. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Meu pequeno cavalo deve pensar que queer, <BR/>Para parar sem uma fazenda perto, <BR/>Entre os bosques e lagos congelados, <BR/>A noite mais escura do ano. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Ele dá o seu arnês sinos um trema, <BR/>Para perguntar se há algum engano. <BR/>O único outro som é a varredura, <BR/>Vento macio e fácil de escamas.NB. <BR/><BR/><BR/>As madeiras são adoráveis, escuros e profundos, <BR/>Mas eu tenho promessas a manter, <BR/>E quilómetros a percorrer antes de dormir, <BR/>E quilómetros a percorrer antes de eu durmo. <BR/><BR/>- Robert Frost<BR/><BR/>A beautiful poem, translated into Portuguese as well to understand it better. <BR/>Congratulations this is a beautiful poem, so your picture is beautiful, beautiful. <BR/><BR/>provided to my felitacionesSal Troccolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09680135427449732916noreply@blogger.com
