Weekly artistic challenge

Fantastic crisp snow...very pretty TT :)

Thank you. It's a shot I love.

A few years ago my mom sent me the ornaments I have painted and made as a child ...here are a few of them and a few favorites.

I tend to add a new ornament or two every year. Any set colour theme is out the window, I have a mish mash of everything!

This was fun to make...I think this ornament is 30 years old ... yikes!!!

We got rain down in the valley overnight. I got a pleasant surprise driving to physical therapy this morning, though. The mountains are about 70 miles NNE of Phoenix, our beloved Four Peaks. (Not the best pic, grabbed it with my cell phone.)

C'mon people! That pic was snapped 15 miles due east of Phoenix AZ! We DO NOT GET SNOW. It's something we admire (maybe) from a distance. Master says this is damn close enough. (LOL He hates sn*w even more than I do.)

We would get beautiful morning like that from Havasu once every couple of years.. wonderful to look at in the distance.. :D
 

Beautiful! Happy New Year to you. I love chasing butterflies...........but won't be doing any of that around here until spring again. Could that be a Blue Morpho?
 


Fantastic...love the water and butterflies!!

I wish the same for you for the New Year!! Happy snapping!!

I've been in PA for the last week. It's been cold or damned cold, but the skies remained mostly clear until this morning. This is what I woke up to in my mom's back yard. That tree hid away several birds that came out later for treats...at least two pairs of cardinals, juncos, bluejays, chickadees, and a few squirrels.

nice pics...thanks!
 
OK...I guess this thread is dying on it's feet...I must admit the weather has kept me indoors, and I probably won't take so many photos now until the spring/summer...I've closed my own photo thread temporarily through lack of interest!:D

Thanks to all to contributed, and special thanks to Rhapsody who is in such a happy place right now!:kiss::heart:
 
Agree thanks to all it was fun weather still good in calif but have not been out to shoot and I cant upload from camera to computer ( old software):mad:
 
Not sure if we are doing a photo challenge anymore ...but... yesterday driving to work I snapped a few pics. The frosty air and morning sunrise was so pretty combined with the hoar frost on the trees. I snapped a couple shots while driving, through my windshield, I added a photo filter from cs4 and here's what they looked like. I have to admit I am impressed with the camera in the Iphone 4s ....
