You guys are getting some serious snow. We are still playing in the grass.

dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa
Well - it certainly looks like he needs it! Lorraine - I really like your composition here - it's very different and interesting.

@dobbino: Thanks so much Rob, I thought he looked cool :)
Janice Thomson from Comox BC, Canada
Wow look at all that snow! A snow suit is definitely called for - bright and cheerful standing out in sharp contrast to all the white. It seems strange to see that green grass sticking out too. Neat composition.
28 Nov 2008 7:46am
@Janice Thomson: Yeah, it's cause it's not tha cold yet, it's not really a snow suit, it's warm, but you know, there's the grass....;)
Siam from Chaingrai, Thailand
Il n'est pas loin du père Noël, c'est une très bonne canadienne, cela ressort le rouge sur le reste, photo d'un beau pays qui est le tient, question tu parle l'anglais et le français? Lorraine.
28 Nov 2008 7:55am
@Siam: OUI mon cher Siam, je suis française, ben actuellement canadienne française, l'anglais est ma langue seconde et je l'adore, je suis née à Montréal, au Québec...Donc, puisque je suis née québécoise, mon français n'est pas 'bon', il est tout simplement ma langue maternelle, mais mon anglais, par contre EST EXCELLENT LOL ;) Merci beaucoup !
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States

This red jacket makes a nice contrast in the white snow. Very nice composition Lorraine.

28 Nov 2008 1:25pm
@Viewfinder: Well she's just the sweetest...just like her dad :)
Barbara from Florida, United States
There is no camouflage here! I like the red plaid and denim against the white snow. This image really takes me back to my younger years in the north.
I enjoy your view of winter wonderland.
By the way now I know where all of our cold air is being blown in from the north.
28 Nov 2008 1:33pm
@Barbara: Yeah thanks a lot for that Barb lol It's going to get so much colder ;)
terrorkitten from Bath, United Kingdom
Damn Lorraine, that is one hell of a lot of snow - well, at least by our standards

@terrorkitten: Are you kidding Phil, this is nothing! lol
Cheryl from Texas, United States

28 Nov 2008 2:48pm
@Cheryl: Red is so important to be noticed , and I love all sorts of cold, red, blue, green, weird, I just love coats, Isn't that weird lol
Daryl from Amagasaki, Japan
Wow is this NOW? You do have a lot of snow... it's just a little chilly here in Japan...
28 Nov 2008 3:06pm
@Daryl: Now, well yesterday, so that's kind of now...then more snow today, then changed to rain, then to freezing rain and now back to snow, it's pretty and not cold about Minus 2 thanks Daryl
JJ from Jersey City, United States
The snow seems to be coming in full force there, I love this capture, the colors of his jacket stand out against the more subdued background, and to me his body language seems to be Ohh no, I am not ready for this snow yet LOL
28 Nov 2008 3:11pm
@JJ: All our kids are use to it, although some love it, some hate it...but all love christmas lol
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Wow, you've got quite a bit on the ground already - that red plaid and denim 'snowsuit' is great.
It was cold here this morning, but now at 10:45 am, it's up to 65F - not bad! :D
28 Nov 2008 3:45pm
@Judy: Wow, really 65 f, that's summer lol it hasn't been too bad here either, about Minus 2 C Hope you enjoyed you holidays Judy...

standley from Carquefou, France
Impossible d'égarer cette personne! L'hiver semble bien installé chez toi.
28 Nov 2008 5:32pm
@standley: Sans aucun doute Richard, il neige tous les jours, ou comme aujourd'hui, il neigeait, puis il pleuvait, puis apres la pluie verglacante...oh la la ;)
@Eleftheria!: Hey thanks you Eleftheria, is there any at all in Greece? ;)
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Que belle image de la neige sur les maisons. Le "snow suit" semble très chaud.
Dans 6 jours se serai en London (Ont.). J'espère trouver quelque chose comme ça depuis longtemps.
28 Nov 2008 8:04pm
@Paco Díaz: Ah OUi, Fantastique Paco, j'espère qu'il y a quelques tempêtes de neiges (mais rien qui n'empêche le voyage lOL Bonnes Vacances, et n'oublie surtout pas ta caméra ;)

Pixim from Nice, France
Il me fait de la peine ce personnage dans sa veste rouge au milieu de cette neige, avec les maisons au fond. Sûrement sa position, la tête penchée. Ce poteau central serait-il son seul soutien ? ;)
28 Nov 2008 10:11pm
@Pixim: bah...il est jeune, probablement qu'il dort en attendant l'autobus scolaire ;) Merci beaucoup Eric!
Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
Errrr... nah... I know I say I want to do the snow thing but this looks a little to cold... actually, I like the way the grass is poking up through the snow...
28 Nov 2008 11:35pm
@Fliss: Oh Honey, you ain't seen nothing yet ;) lol
