I was looking at the Fall Display Photos thread, and realized it's not too much like fall where I am anymore.
Outside my house:

Ohhhh, thanks for posting. I want some! I want some! Unfortunately there is none on the way for us.

Cher

Wow... looks exactly like outside MY house...

I hope it all doesn't melt tomorrow. It's so pretty.

This is what's going on at our house today....

Margarita, that is too cute!!!

Elly's first time playing in the snow.

That is so cool! (figuratively and literally)

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa............COLD HERE IN OHIO!!!!! I think I will go back TO PHILIPPINES TOMORROW

Happy Thanksgiving to all Apples!!!

Dave is in charge in the kitchen as this will be my first turkey day.

When you start putting those lights up... just remember that there will always be someone there to outdo you.

(hope nobody's posted this yet):

LIGHTS!

hope no one's posted it yet?

and didn't these people's mothers teach them not to turn the lights on and off? that it wastes electricity?

that video shoulda ended after a minute.

I know it's not snowy or anything, but I took it today..

From last winter. We've had no snow yet this year.


Snowy Grass

I love that picture!!

word man, those cattails look sweet.

that's awesome about elly's first time in the snow, however it DOES get old VERY quickly!

it's pretty, but why can't it be warm?!

and elly, take me to the phillipines with you! please?

Last night, the University held its annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. This is a great tradition which allows clubs and organizations, faculty and staff to create an ornament each year to hang on the tree. I'm including the Vandy ornament that I created and then one that was created by the GLB club on campus. What a hoot!

And here's a photo of the full tree, part of the crowd and the director of the Gospel Choir.

Anyone make any Snow Angels yet?. I am planning on doing one tomorrow night.

we haven't had enough snow I don't think. Two days ago it was like 60 again and it all melted. I do look forward to snow angels quite a bit. oh, michigan.

hey, holeintheface,

ubercool avatar!

...looks like a pop art painting I think...maybe you outta start a thread for artisitc perspective shots...hmmm

and

thanks for starting this thread. it still looks like autumn here where I am, except that there are cut Christmas trees for sale when you drive past garden centers and such around here

i wanna post some pics here too, since i finally figured out how to on the Fall Pictures one, and then the colored leaves kinda curled up, blew away, or all turned brown...

I hate the cold... and I hate the snow. The only good thing about winter is that women up here start wearing those smokin' winter boots. And those boots are well... uh, yeah... smokin'.

I hope these aren't too big. I took them last year around town:









That last house is for sale... in case you've got a few million $$ you want to drop.

that's a cool idea. Thanks about the avatar.

Jeffrey, I really really like the one of the road with the trees surrounding it.

Beautiful as usual, Sink.

Cher

Still no snow here, but I did take a few in the XMas spirit today:


Blue Shutters

I just love these doors of the local Episcopalian church. It's a white limestone block building and the red just pops! I've been waiting for them to bedeck them, so my business partner, who knows the pastor and his wife, called them yesterday to see if I could bring a wreath and take photos today. They said yes. However, when I got there this morning, they had already put wreaths up on both sets of doors. How lovely, and you should see the great XMas cards they made. I sold them all at the Open House today and have orders for more.

wow, I really love the pictures of red church doors. It reminds me of when i was in Philly last summer and tons of the churches looked like that. Nice pictures!

Our first really good dose of snow just happened to come a few hours before Over The Rhine hit the stage... so everyone had to drive through it. I was hoping to make it early enough to hang out and mingle with some people. But with the snow I was lucky to make it there just before the show started.

Here's the first dusting we had Saturday morning:

Yay!!! Ok will bring you when I visit there next year! - But Im afraid you wont go back home! hehe...All apples will get mad at me:(

Hope you like it. PALAWAN PHILIPPINES - thats my hometown:) (www.palawan.com)

bbbbrrrrrrr COLD HERE!!!!!!

it looks so pretty!! I want to be there right now!

It is snowing here in DC...but I don't have a camera to take a picture of it. Plus, outside my window, I have the scenic view of the Whitehurst freeway...so you won't see anything besides the cars whizzing by and the building across the street.

They're calling for flurries tomorrow and again on Thursday. I'm hoping for some precip soon as I'd really like to get out and get some show shots.

Cher

Dude,

I hope you keep posting pictures, because they're incredible! I have been checking all three picture threads regularly lately to see if you've posted anything new.

Most of us here are merely amatuers, but those pictures are professional and worth of art status. I love to take pictures but don't seem to find time for it anymore so I am really enjoying your photos.

Some of these would make excellent Christmas cards. I would be interested in knowing what you would charge to use one of your pictures to print my own cards?

Skoegahom...

skoe, check out his website if you haven't already. some incredible work there too...

So, I wish this was taken with a real camera instead of my camera phone. I like it anyway.

that's still pretty nice for a camera phone. How do you get the image from your phone onto the computer? I've been wondering that since I got my camera phone a few months ago.

i hate snow. i do, however, love the macro on my new camera

Well, I have Verizon and they provide an Online Album... but I think it's 25 cents to send, but I might have a plan where it's cheaper. Anyhoo... you can either do something like that or send it to your email thru your phone.

cool. I have verizon, so I'll have to check that out. thanks!

this is an old spoonrest that has found a home on my patio table being used as a birdfeeder or occasional ashtray for friends. this morning on my way out i did a doube-, then tripletake. after staring at this for a couple minutes i went back in to grab the camera. this is sunday's rainwater at 19*.

for kylie

:: goes to hijack thread to post ::

That's so weird, what caused that?

no clue. i was hoping someone here could explain it. it didn't happen this morning. i emailed the shot to a local tv weather guy last night hoping for an answer. where's mr. wizard when you need him?

I know this!!!

This is my favourite winter website ever!

He's at CalTech!!

ooh...margarita, i'm so impressed! i'm fresh out of gold stars, or i'd give you three of them.

Kylie -

GREAT capture. It has the mystical quality that I love. Thanks for sharing.

Cher

Nice captures, Jane. What type of camera do you have?

Cher



I bought a snowflake book last year written by this guy and went to his site. You're right, it truly does rock!

Cher

that's very interesting.. I've never seen those before.

thanks margarita! i knew someone here would know about it.

I can't take credit for the photo. This is the famous Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox right on Lake Bemidji in Bemidji, MN. Lastnight I took my boyfriend who is from Kenya down to see the lights, he had never seen anything like this before. I was happy to share the beautiful lights w/ him and w/ all of you.Click to view attachment
