A really neat photograph, makes me cold just looking at that dusting of snow. Very pretty, but the poor things must be in neat of a little TLC and warming up, ha ha. Superb

Siam from Chaingrai, Thailand
Beau comme welcome, très harmonieux cette composition, Lorraine , je ne suis pas très partisan des défis, le seul défis que je suis d'accord aider les gens à étendre leur vision du monde,aider les gens à franchir ces barrières est un défi de taille. Les gens sont différents sur la planète, ont ne peut aller contre sa nature rebelle....

tyan from Singapore, Singapore
heh..is this some kind of offering?It looked quite like the kind of offering asian folks here do for ancestral worship-a few oranges.apples,with flowers and incense...
I saw an icy place with rainbow coloured houses built neatly,like toy houses today,in a picture taken in Quebec,by Lonely Planet..i was thinking,hey,this is perhaps where Lorraine was born:)

@tyan: HOw lovely tha sounds Tyan, lots more snow coming sweetie ;)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Wow, this seems unfair to hit so early. From many of your last winter's comments, I remember how much you love the ice and snow. Regardless, it's an ace photograph you've posted today, m'lady.

@Viewfinder: How very sweet, I'm getting into the snow mood, not much choice really lol thanks vf :)
JJ from Jersey City, United States
wonderful capture, beautifully composed, love how the orange pumpkins stand out but are subdued by the dusting of snow,, as I always say snow is so beautiful to see on postcards or beautiful captures like this, I just hate having to go out in it, so I say let it snow let it snow, but elsewhere
30 Oct 2008 2:06pm
@JJ: It will snow, it will snow right here non stop until April lol oh well might as well get use to it, thanks a lot JJ :)

Lovely shot, so the snows are here, this is the first photo I've seen.
