1-17-10 Beautiful frost! I wandered around the yard and took a bunch of photos of the frost, and a few of them came out, actually, but that'll be a separate entry.

Beautiful!

Was the ice thick enough to go skating?

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure it was. Right now, though, it's probably melted a little too much, and I'd be worried about stepping on it...

Thanks for the comment!

Ahhh, so lovely! It does look like a perfect skating pond, but I always wonder how they do that...clear the snow and wnatnot...

It's tricky to maintain good skating ice on a pond. It takes perseverance and dedication, seriously. You have to keep the snow off, and then you have to keep the ice smooth, usually by adding water to the top. But I don't even have skates anymore, so I don't think we'll try.

Yeah, it seems a bit of a challenge unless it's like a community pond and lots of people would get use out of it. I just see all these shows and movies of people skating on ponds and it looks so cozy and communal... Guess I should move to Minnesota or something...

Oh yes, it always looks so lovely! But I'm a terrible skater. :(

Lovely, but man, that looks cold *shivers*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oh, it is! Which is why I just take these pics out the window, lol. hee!!

I want a pond...=(

Well, if you dig a hole in the backyard, and get out the hose...hee! jk.

It is lovely. Except for the mosquitoes in summer.

We're so lucky to live here, seriously!

Very pretty. I like the time lapse.

It really is interesting to see the seasons change! I've been very happy to watch that occur.

These are all gorgeous but I love the ones with the sunlight shining on the snow covered pond!

I really did think it would be boring to put up pictures of the pond in snow--I thought they'd all be the same! But wow, the sun, the time of day, fog, frost, snow...it all changes! So I'm so glad I've kept up. *nodnod*
