I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Well, pard, I was happy to just survive this jaunt through the frozen countryside. I was ready to give up 5 years worth of Christmas booty just to see the inside of a warm house again.

    Happy New Year, Randy,

    Hi Tom, certainly looks cold and bleak. 36 deg C outside at the moment - stuck inside in the aircon !!

    Happy New Year, Richard.

    Boy, Richard, it's sure great to hear from you. I've been wondering how you're doing.

    I fully understand about the air conditioner. Come the brutal Florida Summers and I don't go outside except when I'm heading to the Appalachians. I do hope you'll soon be able to treat us to some of your great work....been way too long.

    Happy New Year,

    Tom

    Another wonderfully composed, moody, and (appropriately) bleak B&W image Tom - well done! thumb.gif
    Good news - Spring is coming and worth hoping for...

    I don't want to brag or nuthin', but, yesterday, it was 80deg. and sunscreen for me... :ivar

    Thanks for your continued support, Mary.

    I was up in Milwaukee for a week to visit with my two nieces. One lives there and one flew in from CA. One's husband thought a trek through the countryside would be neat. I lost my mind and went with him. eek7.gif Fortunately, I have a lot of hard-weather gear. Man, I needed it.

    Happy New Year to you and John,

    Tom

    When I left Florida, Eric, it was 79 degrees. Landing in zero degree weather made me question my manliness. When I looked at Darlene and saw that she had turned blue, I felt better about myself.:D

    It's been a real pleasure sharing this forum with you. Your contributions can benefit us all.

    Happy New Year,

    Thanks, John.

    I've never spent that much time shooting outside in such extreme weather before. Seems I read that under such conditions, you should put your camera in an airtight baggie before going back into a warm environment. I did that. The condensation formed on the baggie, not on or in the camera. I guess it was sage advice to do that.

    Take care,

    Tom
