@Linerberry: Oh Sweet Berry, after a while snow photos look all the same to me, that's when I go nuts and put up art stuff ;)

dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa

Beautiful, beautiful! The handrail just for the front section of steps looks real strange to me - have never seen that before - it's normally all the way or nothing at all.

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

Wonderful ... I'm glad you stopped for a photo! What an inviting, old brick home it is and the flying snowflakes add to the stark contrasts. Don't slip on those snow-covered, carpeted steps!

9 Dec 2008 1:26pm

@Judy: Thanks so much, well since I don't know the people it would inappropriate for me to climb the stairs (lol unles sthey weren't home lol

GJC from Kyoto, Japan

Love the warm tones in the brick -- a nice contrast with the snow. I'm surprised you didn't stop in for some tea!

9 Dec 2008 1:32pm

@GJC: I never stop for tea, for coffee that's a different story :)...but not here, 'cause I don't know the people ;)

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States

That door - it makes you want to go up those steps and go inside. What an inviting shelter from the storm...

9 Dec 2008 1:38pm

@Viewfinder: I'd love to see inside too ;) thanks a lot Vf

Bookfool from Vicksburg, United States

That's a beautiful photo, Rainy. The snow looks quite peaceful and the home inviting. I suppose the warmth of that wooden door with decorations is what draws the eye inward and makes it look so cozy. Beautiful!

9 Dec 2008 2:25pm

@Bookfool: Hey Book, I'd love to go inside, but I don't know the people...sigh I find the door so lovely thanks always ;)

9 Dec 2008 3:34pm

@JJ: Huge storm right now, but that' s the way things are lol thanks a lot JJ ;)

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

What an inviting entrance to this fine old home. Love the dormer window above the door and it certainly looks like the start of a good old fashioned snow storm. I'm kind of looking forward to our first and then again maybe not!! Have a good day Lorraine.

9 Dec 2008 4:46pm

@Marion: I loved the entrance as soon as I saw it...snow storms are wonderful, but taken with caution, thanks a lot Marion :)

Pixim from Nice, France

Si l'on regarde sur la droite, cette illumination blanche ne dit rien de bienveillant. Heureusement, droit devant nous, un passage bien guidé nous amène à l'abri Bravo pour cette mise en scène (pour moi derrière mon écran) mais qui doit être un soulagement en réalité ;)
