20 Jan 2009 5:49am
@tyan: You wouldn't be able to live here sweetie and I sure wouldn't be able to live where you are, I consider between 20 to 22 degress Celcius the best summer weather ;) thanks sweetie ;)

It's luminous today, and the snow looks very soft. I never get tired to see those images of your winter :)

Koushiro~光子郎 from Singapore, Singapore
Oh wow.... Now I wonder how many benches are totally covered? XD Anyway, I think the weather here's starting to get influenced by you. The mornings are COLD!!! As in SERIOUSLY COLD. If you wander out in T-shirt and shorts, it'll be really chilly.... XD

GJC from Kyoto, Japan
This reminds me of your front porch shot some time ago -- doesn't look like there will be any takers for a while.
20 Jan 2009 11:21am
@GJC: If you only knew GJC...it's not so bad now, it should start warmin up next month thanks so much!
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
The uninviting bench along with the snowfall gives me a lonely feeling. Well done Lorraine.
20 Jan 2009 12:17pm
@Craig: Lonely and cold, lol no, not me....thanks alot Craig ;)
k@ from Paris, France
Ouh comme j'ai froid aux fesses à la seule idée de les poser là mais point froid aux yeux qui se régalent de ce banc à la Chantilly, Lorraine Babe ;o)))
20 Jan 2009 12:52pm
@k@: LOL eh voila ton commentaire m'a rechauffe, merci ma petite ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
Only snowmen will be sitting there for awhile. This is the real winter wonderland! I like the addition of the red brick in the frame. They actually predicted snow "flurries" in Florida but nothing like this.
Listen to this, the weather man actually explained what "flurries" are. Large floating snow that falls like ash. I lost myself to laughter.
20 Jan 2009 12:59pm
@Barbara: Can't be right Florida can not, can not have snow flurries even iddy bitty snow specks aren't allowed, Florida is my dream getaway, say it isn't so....wouldn't that be a blast, I want one photo, I want proof Too good Barb ;)
Kathy from Indianapolis, United States
I love the color peeking through from the house...beautiful!

There's a bench?? (kidding)
You are still buried in snow I see...how utterly wonderful!
Lovely shot Lorraine!
20 Jan 2009 1:19pm
@bluechameleon: Thanks Blue, a few more months to go...I don't mind snow, I even love it, well for a while, but I get tired of cold...:)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
A beautiful image, Lorraine. The snow blankets and mystifies the everyday.
20 Jan 2009 1:19pm
@Michael Skorulski: Very poetic Michael, it's nice to see it through your eyes :)

Rui from Leiria, Portugal
WOW C c c c o o o o l l l l d d d d! I think that right now this bench is not used for its original purpose... :) This is really a LOT of snow.
It's nice to see how things are in the other side of the Atlantic. With all this people we can travel around the world in just a couple of.... clicks.
Nice document Lorraine. Well done. I like it!!
20 Jan 2009 3:32pm

Jeff from Pembroke Dock, Wales., United Kingdom
"Snow"use for sitting on...Pat always fancied living in Canada,I think your shots have cured her of that idea...Stay warm young Lady. :>)
20 Jan 2009 3:45pm
@Jeff: lol tell Pat, British Columbia is much more temperate...thank you very much :)
António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
The title is "bench" but it is the building that reminds us the people living there that have lo live with the huge amount of snow on the ground. And not for a couple of days.
20 Jan 2009 5:13pm
@António Pires: Oh Canada, one of our Quebecois singer said it so well in is classic song 'Mon Pays ce n'est pas mon Pays, c'est l'hiver' Rough translation: "My country is not my country, it's winter" lol
Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Not a place to sit on this day, I'd suspect. Almost buried in the snowdrift. brrrrr. Bella likes Florida.
20 Jan 2009 6:46pm
@Viewfinder: Bella is smart and beautiful and thank you Vf for the warming comment :)
@Steve Rice: You've said it Steve, thanks a lot for your visit :)
Pixim from Nice, France
Oulah, passez votre chemin, la saison n'est pas adéquate à la méditation reposante sur banc. Les arbres résistent, et seules les bâtisses solides arrivent à émerger de ce déluge de neige. Tu nous régales de photos ;)
20 Jan 2009 8:24pm
@Pixim: Merci Eric pour ce doux commentaire, je suis contente que la neige ici régales d'autres lol ;)
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
Something you'll never see where I live! Nicely captured.
20 Jan 2009 8:44pm
@Andrew Gould: Right now Andrew, all I can say is 'lucky you' and thanks very much lol
Jasp from Plymouth, United Kingdom
I was thinking a snow man would look good there but Alun beat me to it.
20 Jan 2009 8:47pm
@Jasp: That's so passé right now Rich, too bloody cold, that was a Nov-Dec event, but thanks ;)
Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
You have braved the elements to bring us a beautiful shot.
20 Jan 2009 9:27pm
@Michael Rawluk: Yes but I'm too cold now, but thanks for the warming comment :)
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
I had to chuckle while reading Barb's comment, because we too, laughed when we heard the weatherman talking about what snow flurries were ..... DUH!
This is a perfect shot, Lorraine, but it gives me the chills. :D
20 Jan 2009 10:01pm
@Judy: I can see why, right now I'm so cold, 'cause it's cold out, not it's very cold out, minus 20 something, the snow i don't mind, the cold, man I've had it lol thanks so much Judy :)
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Jolie photo pour nos yeux... mais gare à celui ou celle qui va oser poser ses fesses sur cet adorable banc enneigé... brrrr !!!
Merci beaucoup pour ton gentil e-mail qui m'a donné beaucoup de réconfort.... je retrouve doucement un peu d'énergie...
20 Jan 2009 10:45pm
@Evelyne Dubos: merci beaucoup Evelyne, il fait si froid ici, ton commentaire me réchauffe et là c'est moi qui te remercie :)
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
If you sat there for long, I would imagine that in several minutes, you would end up as the Abominable Snowman, or they might have to dig you out in the spring......
20 Jan 2009 11:05pm
@Richard_Irwin: Well now thanks that didn't help my freezing body at all this morning LOL but funny ;)
marianne from France

@marianne: Ton commentaire me réchauffe, un chocolat chaud et de la pluie, ahhh je n'ai besoin de rien d'autres...
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
It's about time you took your Xmas tree down Lorraine...... I'm sure you love the snow, but Santa has gone LOL
