I like the way the sky and snow create it's own vignette. Nice touch. And I love the detail.

i hope you are doing ok.keep warm and cheerful.i esp like the tree in layers of snow-cap.Very nice.Thanks for your suggestion dear,i did have thoughts of changing a blog host,not so much to get more readership,but that i can share personal things without the knowledge that many people are reading it.But i am in a state of inertia,and havent gone down to doing it yet,wanted to keep this blog till the boys are older and can read it for fun.But now i actually feel like scraping the blogging thing altogether:p

@tyan: Doing my best sweetie, hey no worries, do what you can, it's not fun when blogging starts stressing you. Have fun whatever you do :)
alex centrella from fresno, United States
i think maybe a small black border may help, but i like the contrast.
9 Mar 2008 3:55pm
@alex centrella: Hey Alex, it would have, definitely, but I wanted to leave it vague, blank as if the snow was infinite as it seems to be this year ;)
@Ondro: Thanks a lot Ondro, that's why I liked it, its simplicity :)

We got more snow, you've captured the isolation and gloom of this winter.
