I guess the good is the beauty. That is a gorgeous shot with the snow against the bricks.

@Michael Rawluk: Hey Michael, I adore the house I just love it, and it's stunning with snow lol thanks so much!
Koushiro~光子郎 from Singapore, Singapore
Well good thing is the snow is really pretty but I guess the downside'll be the poor owner who's gotta shovel his way outta the house XD

@Koushiro~光子郎: If this were my house, I'd shovel with great joy ;) thanks a lot Koushiro

Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
Actually, I'm ready for some cold weather. But, not like you guys get it up there! It was almost 90 F here yesterday. I'm ready for rain. I hope you were digging in the old archives for this shot Lorraine because it is just too early for that kind of cold! A lovely shot though! The warm red bricks really contrast well with the rest of the scene!

@Craig: Hey Craig, I love that house, actually we had a snow storm in October, this is one of the photos I took, there's more to come, one week later it was all gone, but it will be back! :)
@Ana Lúcia: Thanks a lot Ana :)

beautiful capture of the snow, like the look of snow against the building and bricks, feel sorry for whoever has to shovel it off the paths though

The brick steals the shot, the good is an excuse to stay inside.

Barbara from Florida, United States
Gorgeous and festive image Lorraine. I love this Victorian style with the oval window. The knobby rail up the stairs. All would be warmed by the glow of colorful lights, burning logs in the fireplace and a cup of hot cocoa.
Gosh I am there already. Really a fabulous image Lorraine.
15 Nov 2008 2:56pm
@Barbara: Ahhh I'm in love with your description...lol thanks so much Barbara :)

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Lovely image Lorraine. Looks like a ginger bread house. Could model one after this house and put it under the Christmas tree.
15 Nov 2008 8:54pm
@Marion: You could because you're so talented, thanks always Marion...take care of that wrist x
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Ironic to see those remaining autumn leaves, fallen atop the fresh snow. It's a photo that runs the gamut of seasons and emotions, Lorraine. For eyes that seldom see the snow, I can speak of its beauty. For eyes that see far too much of it, I'm sure the beauty has a very short shelf-life. Still, it is. Beautiful, I mean. And good.
16 Nov 2008 12:18am
@Viewfinder: So nicely put Vf, thanks for your lovely comment ;)
marianne from Toulouse, from France, France
on ne sait plus vraiment si c'est l'automne ou l'hiver ...
ici on ne voit la neige que très rarement , juste quelques flocons !!
j'imagine les enfants, aux joues bien rouges, se lancer des boules de neige ...
c'est très beau , cette neige immaculée ...
16 Nov 2008 12:40am
@marianne: pour quelques semaines c'est comme ca ici Marianne, on ne sait jamais, puis l'hiver commence et on plus aucun doute lol merci beaucoup :)

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
I guess you were right ... snow was on the way! I love the colors against the snow.
