    Beautiful photos! Just came home to 8″ of snow in my “backyard” here in Queens, NY, so this photo essay was timely.

    I’m with Marie, and deeply saddened to report we are in the middle of summer down in the southern hemisphere.

    Another beautiful photo collection Hal!

    Great post, Hal! Even in Texas we’re feeling the chill with 15 degree-weather today. But I still love winter!
