'Ok Guys, you know what to do.'Posted by Lorraine (Gatineau, Canada) on 15 March 2008 in Business & Industry. For my lovely winter-wanna be(s), I suggest you also visit the following site from Martine, because her photos are always right smack into winter, and they ARE excellent, better than mine, I kid you not ;) http://photomartine.aminus3.com/ Of course, you still have to visit me...

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, SlovakiaA smart idea for the men to do this. One year so many roofs collapsed here because of snow. Your image is crisp and sharp. Excellently done, Lorraine. 15 Mar 2008 5:39am @Michael Skorulski: Hey Thanks a lot Michael, it was an unexpected gift, 'cause I wasn't out taking photos and I really didn't feel like bringing my camera only to shoot winter again, but again my intuition told me to shut up and bring it ;) martie from Okinawa, JapanLorraine - your photography is wonderful! And this is a good reminder of no matter how nice snow make look and how much fun it might be to play in, it is certainly work to remove!! 15 Mar 2008 5:45am @martie: You're not kidding m'dear, do you know that municipal laws have now dictated that walking space no longer be cleaned because they've run out of places to push snow, and two lanes have become one and the one line is a big 'good luck'... Janice Thomson from Courtenay BC, CanadaI can't get over how much snow you guys got! You'll sure enjoy spring when it finally gets there in full force. Great photo mon amie. 15 Mar 2008 6:56am @Janice Thomson: I will never have looked forward to spring so much lol Thanks Janice :) @Hans: Thanks a lot Hans ;) Betty from New Jersey, United StatesWonderful shot, Lorraine! Hopefully the storms are beginning to taper off? 15 Mar 2008 9:43am @Betty: Thanks Betty, well we had a mini snow storm yesterday, it blew my mind that it didn't storm fo rlong, progress, I call it :) Scotfot from Kabul, AfghanistanThe guy on the top of the ladder makes this image!

Your site is a hi-light of my day Lorraine. Even when snowbound. Lol. BTW, am so glad you liked the books today. 15 Mar 2008 12:02pm @Viewfinder: Now that's just so sweet Vf, yes I did love your books, I love all books...and your photo was very homey and warm :) laughingwolf from Canadaafter those three women died from the tons of snow on the roof of the mall, they SHOULD know better than to allow it to accumulate to such levels :( 15 Mar 2008 12:25pm @laughingwolf: In their defense, the snow removal people have been unbelievably busy, I don't know how they managed to even get half of it done...but you're right too, safety first :) alex centrella from fresno, United Statesi like the guy on top of the ladder, he seems to be the supervisor, you can always tell because they are the ones that dont work. 15 Mar 2008 12:32pm @alex centrella: Exactly...of course if they worked, then they could hardly supervise. Personally it must be very cold standing still, but hey he gets the big bucks :) @Ina: Thanks a lot Ina :) Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United StatesAre those students from the school doing the shoveling? :D 15 Mar 2008 1:16pm @Judy: That would be very smart, wouldn't it? lol thanks a lot Judy! @Saeed: I appreciate that, thanks Saeed :) Ron from Saint Louis, United StatesWho knew there was a need for roof snow removal? I suppose you wouldn't want to be getting a fitting from the golden scissors and have the roof fall in on you! You are always on the lookout for the humor and beauty around you…a very admirable trait, Lorraine. Bravo! 15 Mar 2008 1:35pm @Ron: LOL I can't take credit for it I almost left my camera at home....love your observation about the golden scissors, ouch that could hurt LOL Thanks always Ron :) Suzanne Labbé from Granby, CanadaLe nouveau sport national :o))) Well done Lorraine ! 15 Mar 2008 1:49pm @Suzanne Labbé: LOL Allo Suzanne, tu es très drole, merci bien... @Ana Lúcia: Thanks a lot Ana L. :) Martine from Quebec, CanadaScène qui sera répétée partout au Québec aujourd'hui! 15 Mar 2008 3:59pm @Martine: Martine, merci beaucoup et n'est ce pas...tu mérites ces éloges :) Craig from Vacaville, California, United StatesI'm glad that's not me up there!
