Snow Pas a Deux
Posted by Lorraine (Gatineau, Canada) on 28 February 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Prediction: I'll be disconnected today...our rainy 9 degrees has turned to Minus 19-- that means it will all freeze including the connection, sorry I probably won't be able to visit ..
Magda from Canada

Have a good cup of hot chocolate, pick up a book, listen to your iPod or MP3, or just enjoy the peace and quiet.

Barbara from Florida, United States
I've already given you 5 stars for this one.
It is filled with romance even with the chilly temps.
The soft dof and colors really make this a special image.
Last night I followed the weather in the north and how temperatures will hit well below zero. Even though we are to get a cold front I will sent whatever warmth we have your way.
Snuggle up with the kitties they always bring warmth inside and out.
I just love this image.
28 Feb 2009 3:19pm
@Barbara: Well now that is such a wonderful warming compliment, thanks a lot Barb :)
Walter from Watkinsville, United States

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
You must be getting so tired of the snow. We had another dump on my birthday. Thanks Mr. Weatherman. I love the soft focus of this picture. The fresh snow falling on the already packed and dirty mounds and the two walking silently away. You can almost hear the quiet.
Do keep warm and snuggly. Hugs, Marion
28 Feb 2009 6:52pm
@Marion: You're very kind and you also keep warm and snuggly sweetie and hugs right back at 'ya :)

Hey Lorraine! This is beautiful! I love the perspective! Is there any secret to making the falling snow show up?
