Tying this in with your last post on your other blog, you show that it's sometimes it's hard to get back home.

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Your soft processing adds so much to the lightness of the image. Beautifully done, Lorraine.
3 Jan 2009 12:33pm
@Michael Skorulski: Lovely compliment Michael, thanks very much :)
JJ from Jersey City, United States
such an apt title, great shot and feel sorry for the person who has to get out shovelling
3 Jan 2009 1:09pm
@JJ: That's pretty all of this part of the world, don't feel sorry for us, we live here by choice, don't we? lol You're a sweetie ;)
MontereyJohn from Salinas, California, United States
Hmmmmm... more evil white stuff :)
Happy New Year, Lorraine!

@MJ: Hey MJ I miss visiting, good gosh it's been forever, I'll be over soon... I'm starting to feel yuk about it too, January is the coldest month ;) Merry Christmas, Happy New Year x
Barbara from Florida, United States
Lightly, and Firmly! Looks a bit risky to make the steps. I always enjoyed the snow before it is stepped in, shoveled or blown away, because nature put it that way.
Nicely captured Lorraine. Let's hope you aren't bumped off today.
3 Jan 2009 2:01pm
@Barbara: Yes it's so pure and white for a short while lol On the Bumping ground, so far so good, only happened once...Thanks a lot Barb!
Cheryl from Texas, United States
so, so beautiful! looks like a powder. where's that lady in the long coat to sweep it away!! LOL
3 Jan 2009 2:08pm
@Cheryl: Hey Cheryl I love that you remember an old photo, that's so nice, thanks a lot :)
Kathy from Indianapolis, United States
Where's the lady with the fabulous coat and red broom when you need her???
3 Jan 2009 4:42pm
@Kathy: Really lol thanks for remembering ;)
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Wouldn't it be nice if we could just leave the snow untouched and beautiful like this. But no, we have to shovel it, walk on it, pile it up in dirty piles. LOL. Love this shot dear Lorraine.
3 Jan 2009 4:45pm
@Marion: That would be soooo wonderful Marion, who knows maybe one day we can teleport from one place to another without touching a bit of snow lol nice to dream :)
Photographs by M.E. from Tustin, United States
brrrr-very cool! It must have been a very white christmas for you and your family!
Happy Holidays, Lorraine!(belated)
3 Jan 2009 5:02pm
@Photographs by M.E.: I've lived in Canada all my life and never ever has it not bee white lol thanks a lot ME and happy belated everything to you too x
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
I'm starting to feel for all the Gatineauens (?) this constant barrage of snow must be overwhelming.
3 Jan 2009 5:32pm
@JoeB: You should see how bitchy we get in March lol aww Lord....thanks Joe
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
How could you resist putting your footprint into the shot, Lorraine ... it was just waiting for you :D
3 Jan 2009 5:35pm
@Judy: I think I would look strange, leaving the car, running across the street, stepping quickly and leaving and then getting aphoto, unless someone would take a photo of me, Now THAT would be worh it lol Can you imagine....
Jasp from Plymouth, United Kingdom
I see a face in the snowy steps... too much Christmas drink ?
3 Jan 2009 5:40pm
@Jasp: Yes I think you've had too much to drink Rich, that are no face prints in this photo lol
Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
Did you bring your shovel? That is another fabulous shot, Lorraine.
3 Jan 2009 6:51pm
@Michael Rawluk: Well if I had, I'm presuming the owner might have asked me what I though I was doing..being neighbourly? from miles and miles away lol thanks a lot Michael!
Paco Díaz from Spain
How did your host to get in and out without slipping? :))

3 Jan 2009 7:00pm

Jeff from Pembroke Dock, United Kingdom
"Virgin snow"...I just love.......Snow. ;>))
3 Jan 2009 7:24pm
@Jeff: You don't get much of that in UK do you? lol thanks a lot Jeff!
Janice Thomson from Canada
Neat shot Lorraine - there must be another way in and out of this house - it's what my backstairs looked like until a couple days ago :). We're in for one more snowfall and then hopefully that's it for the winter. Phew!
3 Jan 2009 8:18pm
@Janice Thomson: It was the front my dear, I'm just really early sometimes lol
kerfendal from Paris, France
c'était avant le balayage :) j'aime beaucoup, simple mais trés evocatrice
3 Jan 2009 8:49pm
@kerfendal: Merci beaucoup Max, it était très top :)
Pixim from Nice, France
Une neige vierge de toute trace, et sans une dame pour le balayer; c'est super. J'aime les tons chauds utilisés de manière contradictoire avec le froid du moment, image de film... Le cadrage est parfait aussi avec ce début d'escalier pour aller ... en haut sûrement Bravo ;)
3 Jan 2009 10:02pm
@Pixim: Merci beaucoup, j'aime beaucoup que tu te souviennes d'un photo lol
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Tu as du être plus matinale que les habitants de cette maison qui doivent encore dormir au chaud sous la couette!! Cette belle neige immaculée sera foulée dès qu'il mettront le nez dehors...
3 Jan 2009 11:27pm
@Evelyne Dubos: Je suis toujours très tôt, sauf qu'en il fait trop froid lol dans la neige, pas de problème, merci beaucoup Evelyne :)
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Lovely snow..... :)) Get shovelling Lorraine, I'll be round to help soon.
4 Jan 2009 1:13am
@Observing: Not my stairs Mikey, but go ahead I'm sure they'll be happy ;)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Hope your computer kick-outs issue gets fixed. This is really pretty. I always liked the look of pre-shoveled snow on the walkway and steps.
4 Jan 2009 1:23am
@Viewfinder: Thanks very much Vf, with storms and blizzards lines down are a given, just got a smile and kick a little about it lol
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
Geee! This means you cannor get in OR you cannot get out! A pity to spoil the beauty of the snow on those stairs! What are you going to do, Lorraine?
4 Jan 2009 2:53am
@Japanalia: MMM jump, it's not that far down or up lol thanks always Gabriela ;)
Suzanne from Huntington Bch, United States
Beautiful shot. I'd probably turn an ankle climbing those steps.
4 Jan 2009 3:18am
@Suzanne: It might just make way for your steps Suzanne, no visitors of mine will break or turn an ankle, guaranteed! lol thanks a lot!
bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
You know...the temptation to make footprints in this fresh snow is just killing me!
Great shot Lorriane...and guess what? It is snowing here as I type this! Wheee!
4 Jan 2009 3:37am
@bluechameleon: Hey Blue, I'm happy that you're happy, we're in the cold, cold zone now, not so happy, but will forebear :) Thanks always!
Stephen from Charlottetown, Canada
