p.1 #1 · Very short winter...


Last year, we didn't see any snow and didn't have a real winter where I live...

It has been freezing for two days (normally tomorrow, everything will be gone). This could be one of the shortest winters we've had here.

I first thought I wouldn't be able to take any pictures (based on what I saw yesterday and this morning, see first picture), but later in the day, the weather improved. I did not take my normal camera equipment with me because of the weather and I shot with the D40x+18-200VR/105VR I usually take with me just in case.
btw I know I have some dust on the sensor (I cleaned it in the meantime, I still need to PP a few pics where it is visible - only one spot in fact)

Here are the pics...
#1 this was supposed to be my only pic just to show that I was not able to take any pics...

#2 around noon, the light was beautiful and the sky was blue...

#9 just refrshing

Thanks for watching....

Normally all the snow and ice should be gone tomorrow morning when I wake up... we'll see if the weather forecasts are reliable or not....

Hey Guy,

If talking on cell phones are illegal in some places while driving, I wonder what they would say about taking photo's while driving...

I like #3 and 5 the best. Nice little series here!

I would like to thank everybody before FM or my account is shut down, because something is happening with my posts and the replies to my posts.
My estimate is that about 10 replies disappeared in the last 24 hours...

Hopefully, things will be recovered.... I know a few people are working hard to try to solve this...

#7 and 8 are great.
Same situation over here although the frost here lasted a bit longer so lots of people are on the ice today.
Too bad that it's nolonger freezing and the sun is burning all the ice from the trees

Gee! It's a shame you don't know what you're doing Really nice work, Guy.

Looks more like frost that froze on the trees, etc. than straight snow?

Wonderful pictures.
My Nana was from Belgium and we travelled there many times prior to her passing away. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
Hope you have a wonderful Holiday season.

well, it seems that the situation is improving. The counters are still wrong (number of posts, number of replies, my own number of posts etc...) but posts are coming back...
