k@ from France

He ! He ! J'adore l'écho de ces parents/enfants dans la composition savante de ton image, ça se déploie en éventail, on peut en imaginer derrière toi qui attendent pour passer/glisser et s'amuser. Great fun, yes !

27 Dec 2008 9:38am

@k@: Merci beaucoup tu es tres chouette, lol merci k

krystyna from United States

I love your winter. Your beautiful pic invites me to play with snow.

27 Dec 2008 1:16pm

@krystyna: Thank you for your beautiful comment Krystyna, is there anything prettier than a child playing in the snow or an adult lol

Barbara from Florida, United States

Definitely a winter fun image. Imaging being a child again, small enough to have someone pull you around in the snow like that. And just the other day I was thinking about the time I went tobggoning and had so much fun in my teens. Thanks for the memories and you wondering images.

27 Dec 2008 1:35pm

@Barbara: And thank you Barb for you 'always' encouraging comment, I appreciate it more than you know :)

Nina from Hamburg, Germany

This is a lovely capture of winter fun, beautiful composition, I like the colors of clothes... and I'm sure not only the children enjoy the snow! :)

27 Dec 2008 1:40pm

@Nina: Thanks so much Nina, there are so many people who enjoy doing winter activities :)

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

A wonderful winter scene, Lorraine. I've done very much the same thing with my kids.

27 Dec 2008 2:04pm

@Michael Skorulski: Thanks so much Michael, yes I remember those days....;)

Daryl from Amagasaki, Japan

I agree with keeping children on a leash.

27 Dec 2008 2:22pm

@Daryl: and it begs the question...do you have any kids? :)

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

Are they headed for a hill? Such a colorful fun filled image. I would like to be pulled around on a sled :)

27 Dec 2008 2:29pm

@Marion: Yes they are Marion or I'm assuming, they could be going to the store...lol wouldn't that be the life ;)

27 Dec 2008 5:30pm

@Cheryl: My pleasure Cheryl, so what are the fine people of Texas doing for fun? ;)

Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada

I remember towing my son around like that. He would inevitably end up falling into the snow at least once.

27 Dec 2008 5:48pm

@Michael Rawluk: lol I remember that too, I think that's what they love the most, thanks a lot Michael :)

JoeB from Brampton, Canada

Your snow looks so clean and inviting, ours is getting grey and dirty looking, thats life in the city. Way to fill the frame with everyone from one end to the other.

27 Dec 2008 6:40pm

@JoeB: Thanks for the nice compliment Joe, and I assure you our snow does get dirty until a fresh spread covers it all, again lol

Janice Thomson from Canada

Makes one <i>almost</i> want to be young again! Lovely photo of winter fun

A Gatineau traffic jam!

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

Beautiful crisp image, snow can be fun too.

27 Dec 2008 9:11pm

@Observing: Yes it can, thanks a lot Mike :)

Pixim from Nice, France

Il fait beau et lumineux, alors il fait froid. J'aime beaucoup comment les enfants sont bien couverts avec leurs bonnets ou capuches. Grands comme petits ces ballades en luges doivent-être l'occasion de rire et de beaucoup d'amusement. Ta photo donne envie de trouver des coins à neige pour y passer du temps en famille ;)

27 Dec 2008 10:32pm

@Pixim: Beau commentaire Eric, merci beaucoup :)
