You Capture- Winter

This is a hard topic for me to photograph...mainly because Winter here is far different than most other places. For instance, the leaves here didn't even turn or fall off the trees until after Thanksgiving.

Also, we got a little snow 2 weeks before Christmas (and it melted within 30 minutes) and then the following week the temps were up in the 80's. That's why they say "If you don't like the weather in Texas, wait 5 minutes, it will change." :-)

We finally did get REALLY freezing temps (I'm talking record breaking folks!) here the first week in January...16 degrees at one point! And it never even snowed. Then my favorite cactus died. Talk about heartache.

But, I happen to have pictures of "iconic winter" this year, since I was just in Wisconsin for Cupcake '10.

So, enjoy these pictures of real snow while I mourn the death of Mr. Prickles.

Yes, that is a screen you see there.
What? Like I was actually going to stand outside and take the photo?
Phbbt.

This was the view out the front of the lodge. So stunning.

A cool corner.
