Just a dusting of snow on the night of January 17, 2008 . . . quickly melted away by the balmy weather of the following day. Beautiful while it lasted.

This morning 01/11/08 I woke up to very thick frost on everything, it was so remarkable I had to share a couple of shots with the group.

The first is a contrast image of frost and blue sky and the second is a closeup of frost crystals on icicles. Enjoy!



and here's one more shot of Frost and Sky,



More Frost photos HERE

I took these pictures just after dark a few days before Christmas 2007. I love the intense colors of the winter sunset and how quickly they morph into a deep sapphire. These are my first attempts at nighttime photography, so definitely a work in progress. I anticipate that I will be taking more pictures of the sky than anything else for the rest of the winter. We are now experiencing spring in the midst of January. Quite eerie. I don't miss the cold so much as I long for snow. So, I consider myself quite lucky to have evidence of winter from the gorgeous photos posted here on the Winter Photo Network.

... but the winter is mostly gray and dull around here. In last year's winter album, I had few photos I loved... None such in this season's album. However, who knows, maybe a nice one appears.

WINTER IN SERBIA - more and less x))(there are three taken in Bosnia)

Well finally we are getting a good one. The snow is piling up as I write and the flakes are getting bigger as the evening moves in. We should get anywhere from 6 to 15 inches tonight. New shots have been posted in my winter album.



You can go HERE to see more shots. I should have some more tommorrow to share.
