Great photos, but your grass is a little blown out.

Wife and I leave in 19 days for the Caribbean. :mrgreen:

Yeah Ron I'm pretty much over it myself, not so much the snow but it's been so flippin cold that even going out for a walk isn't all that appealing.
On the "upside" it's supposed to be in the pluses and rain lots this week! lol!

Sorry Ron, but things are a lot better here now. I took the top off the jeep and put on the bikini top for a few days.

 

[DarkShadow]

Snowing here again, It's a long long winter. I think I died and went to hell.

Nope putting on the bikini top is a private moment, not suitable for youtube

oh you aren't alone. Out with my wife last night. "photo hunting". spend a hour driving around cellphone towers trying to see if I could find a upward shot from the tower lights to the stars. NADA. Just shivering and snowy. Got out a few places, walked around. Gave up. Went out to the lake, snapped that photo, which wasnt exactly great. I was so bored I reverted back to snapping photos of trees, and she was so bored she was snapping photos of my footprints in the snow and me snapping pictures of trees and the lake. so im taking pictures of not so great things and she is taking pictures of me taking pictures.. Then went to a small nearby cities local airport. drove around there for a half hour. NOt a single plane came in to try to shoot. nada. tried taking pictures of light towers, but any good vantage point would require me to cut through those security gates they have.

About the only thing I managed was what is in the old mill thread which isn't that good. I really wanted to find something to take pictures of with stars. But you have to get away from the town lights to get the stars. you get away from the town lights all there are is trees. sure you look up and see stars. But who wants to just see stars? so we kind of looked for a road, driving around, going up hill, hoping maybe we can get the right angle with something at the top of a hill with stars above. That is like a needle in a haystack search. Probably spent just a hour or more trying to get a good vantage point to get a photo of four cellphone towers with stars above them. Not to mention cloud cover but that is another subject entirely. I really wanted that photo though just wasn't happening. I drove around the mountain staring at them trying to figure it out. Course by then she is like "forget this lets give up" and I couldn't disagree.

And I had to track through a little snow getting some in my shoes again while my wife tried taking pictures from just the road. Granted I don't have a very good photographic eye to pick up on things. But three hours and all nothing I came back with was worth the snow and cold. And not much is green this time of year. Found another babysitter for tonight. Going to dinner, and then will probably try again. But at what point is the cold, snow, dark, really not worth the headache? come on spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A walk is out of the question, the snow is 2' deep where there are no drifts. We go to the gym & do some laps on the walking track & work out on the equipment.

I suppose we could dig out the snowshoes but I am honestly not so inspired - methinks those days are behind us.

If anyone wants some extra snow there a few billion tons of it around. Nice and fluffy pure white !!
Just show up with a truck of any type.

A local church here has a sign out front that usually has some info of one sort or another.

It now reads "If you were one of those people praying for snow, please stop".

 

[Woodsman]

nice shots of snow..... he says after coming in from another 1.5 hours of plowing the road out to the township access road.
