I hate looking at flower pictures right now - all I have is snow! ;)

Hi Jack
As such, here is a hibiscus in the sunshine.


Nice shot of the hibiscus. Like Jack I can only see snow outside but flowers bring a remembrance of spring and summer which signals hope for warmer, brighter days ahead. Besides we're off to Victoria B.C. for five weeks at the end of the month. Not balmy at this time of year but usually pretty nice compared to here. The cherry blossoms should be out when we get to Vancouver Island.

Hi,

nice crocis, dpc. I like them being in the sunshine partly while the surroundings are in shade

lion rock: your latest picture has really vibrant colours.

here is a picture from borage in our garden:

nearly the same with a bit longer exposure time for the background:

Amazing photos, all. I guess all I can do is dream too. Actually no, I need to trudge out in the snow and shoot some kind of bushes or grass and show some creativity but alas the holidays have made me lazy and exhausted - well you know. :)

Actually, Jan 3, the sun shown and I simply had to get out and breathe in the -20 air. Lots to be thankful for.

Jack

Hello Jack,

very nice landscape. I like such weather conditions. Freezing cold, sunshine and a lot of snow. Quiescence and loneliness. Today and tomorrow we do have similar weather here in Germany. Not the same amount of snow but also very cold (-20 to -10 degree Celsius during nighttime) and sunny which is very rare here.
