Pond pics...now with snow

[valis2]

12-14-09 The pond looked really beautiful with its first coat of snow, but sadly I couldn't capture it because by the time I got home at night it was too dark. So here it is after a few days had passed.


12-18-09 New snow fell at some point.


12-19-09 How it looked this morning.


I don't know if you can tell or not, but it started snowing just a minute ago, so I had to take another.

Ooooooooooooh pretty! The snow hasn't quite started here yet, but it's supposed to get going any minute.

I loathe snow and am a huge fan of the GREEN, LOL, but your swing is lovely.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

It really is beautiful! Oooh, it's snowing even more now.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I have to agree with you completely--I do like the look of snow, but I hate the cold more and more each year. :(

[alabastard.livejournal.com]

I swear we're reptilian, just cannot get warm on our own ... and hate the cold, the shoveling snow before work at idiot o'clock, the messes it leaves everywhere, the cold to the bones feeling I cannot shake. Ah well, it makes spring all that more welcome and wonderful.

In about 5 years or when the state gets straightened out financially, we plan on moving to CA anyway, though still not decided on where.

Oh, I love CA. It's glorious. So many different beautiful regions, too. I really was thinking about moving there, but since we bought this house we're pretty much tied to it. :) The housing market in MI is not particularly conducive to selling, and I doubt it will be in the near future either.

And yes, all the more reason to look forward to spring.

You've got such a nice place, it's worth sticking around. I like it out here (but not the winters!) and the job is great, but I crave milder temps, and the sea, you know, for the SQUIDS!

Very pretty!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much!! :)

Hee, I hope nobody accidentally steps on it. Happened to a visitor at my company once. Everything was under a foot of snow. He walked down the steps, didn't know there was a fish pond at the bottom and when he tried to get up the steps on the other side he walked right into it. It isn't deep but in winter it's pretty cold.

Lovely pics there!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I hope not either! They would be in for a rude awakening!!

:) Thank you!

Very pretty! We don't get snow here and I miss it. If it's going to be cold it should also be pretty in my opinion.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Yes, it's no fun to have the cold without the pretty! :(

[little-tristan.livejournal.com]

It's so lovely! I hope we get snow, but not until next Saturday.:)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I think we're supposed to get even more tonight! eep! I wonder what tomorrow's pond pic will look like...

[dementordelta.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, this is so pretty! Does the whole pond freeze over or just get a surface coating?

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, honestly! I hope that the fish will be okay. *nodnod*

I have a feeling that it freezes fairly far down--it's rather shallow, after all.

[cordeliadelayne]

Looks very pretty! :D

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, it really is! :)

[joanwilder.livejournal.com]

I've been waiting for theses! Will the pond ever freeze?

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure it will freeze, and fairly deep, too, because Husband's grandmother and her siblings used to skate on it as children! Cool, huh?

[joanwilder.livejournal.com]

Your own little skating pond! I wanna see those pictures too!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

hee! Unfortunately, I don't have skates anymore, and I don't have the kind of dedication necessary to make a nice skating spot on natural ice, lol. ;)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I really am enjoying having this series of photos, seriously.

And we really should fix the swing. I wince every time I take a pic of it! hee!

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

So pretty! *adores snowy pond*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I almost got a sunny version today, but ended up with a phone call and by the time it was done the sun was gone! Boo.

[privatemaladict.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, gorgeous! Now that's one thing I definitely don't see enough of - snow!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Believe me, that's probably a good thing! hahaha!

[hardboiledbaby]

Stay warm, sweetie!

[valis2.livejournal.com]
