Friday My town Shoot Out - Weather

Here are a few of my favorite winter weather photos - the odds of us having snow at Christmas are usually pretty good. I took this photo Christmas Day morning last year as we were driving home from visiting my mother-in-law at the nursing home.

This barn is a favorite of mine regardless of the season.

This was the view from my office window first thing this morning - we had a very blustery day.

And one of the coolest (pardon the pun) things about blustery weather is that the birds flock (oops, pardon pun #2) to our feeders. It's like the shoppers who crowd the grocery stores when we have bad weather - it's not going to last forever people!

  1. Those photos make me want to sing, "Over the river and through the woods..." They just capture the season.

  2. Your snow photos really do look like Christmas. Your barn is one of the best barns I've ever seen too. When I first saw the photo, I thought to myself, "Oh goody, she posted my favorite barn."

  10. Thanks for the kind comments everyone. The barn in photo 2 is located on Highway 2 just east of London, Ontario. It's another one of those that I photograph almost everytime we drive past it. The name of the farm is Sunny Acres. I'll be stopping by to visit your posts tonight and over the weekend. But for now, the 9-5 work world calls.....

    As usual, just exceptional photographs Elaine! Although after looking at them I need to go get a cup of hot chocolate.

  18. All I need is a sleigh and I am ready. Oh, and I will need a heated blanket, too. Beautiful photos, but this Georgia gal doesn't think she could survive any further up north.

    Love the birds. That one is sure looking at you!
