These are incredible photographs, C. Is spring on its way, or is it too soon? I can’t help thinking those shoots are a hopeful sign. And what a beautiful, silky canine friend.

Your photos are awesome, Christine. So beautiful! We’re having the same sort of weather here. My flowers are blooming, and I hope the cold doesn’t hurt the blooms. One thing I’ve noticed is how excited Southerners get when it snows (I do, too). Everything closes…yay! Up north, I had to drive through blowing drifts to get to work. I agree with Michelle about your dog. What a sweet face!

I thought about you, Christine, when i listened to the news reports about snow in Atlanta. Any time there is news about Atlanta, I think of you. 8)
Great shots. I loved the daffodils, tulips…whatever the flower coming up. Those types of hardy bulbs always amaze me how they start when it’s still so cold.

Wow, beautiful shots, the light is wonderful. This winter has been really unbelievable. We’ve had two days that weren’t absolutely freezing since about the first week in December……lovely picture of the doggywog.

Thanks for looking at the pics, everyone! The snow has melted by now. Today I drove past the remains of a few dirty, leafy snowmen, but that’s all.
