    Thankfully we have none so far! Brrrrrrrrrrrrr. It looks cold…..

  2. Angelia Sims says:

    Love the composition on this one. For a second, I thought it was a real car. :-)

  3. Brandon says:

    When I first glanced at the pic, I thought it was a white sand beach. http://wp.me/pdJ7S-tb

  4. Nicely done (as always) Frizz!

  5. Fergiemoto says:

    Fantastic snow photos!

  6. tmso says:

    Are those toy cars? Excellent idea!

    I love the horses.

  7. I really love the one with the NYC cab.

  8. What brilliant fun you must have had!

  9. You fooled me! I thought they were real cars until I read these comments. Well done!

  10. thirdhandart says:

    Gorgeous winter photos! Any one of them would have been great for the challenge, but 15 beautiful photos takes your entry over the top. You’re an inspiration FrizzText! You definitely keep us on our toes (striving to keep up).

  11. You get some cool shots Frizz. Always unique. Margie

  12. imexcited says:

    Awesome…I like them all but my favorites are the cat walking in the snow and your photo with your cat (perhaps because I love cats :)

  13. nellibell49 says:

    Once again – thank you.

      This week’s photo challenge – chosen with WordPress’ usual lack of innovative thinking is “WINTER”. It is even less significant for those of us living in the Southern Hemisphere where it is mid-Summer. It comes out on New Year’s Eve which would seem to me to provide with a lot of intriguing concepts. Thank goodness therefore for the innovation of the photographers themselves. First up, for me is FRIZZTEXT again. I am sitting here amongst forest and swimming holes in the river – and when I awaken on New Year’s Eve, here are these stunners. Shots of the Snow. I have not seen snow for many years. Thanks again Frizztext.

  14. So many wonderful winter photos. Happy 2012 :)

  15. granbee says:

    Love the blanketed horses, the snowbound pink and red sports cars, and the folks tethered together! Winter is indeed our reset button. How very much we need it!

    • frizztext says:

      waiting for warm socks
      on the blanketed horses: one has a coat, the other not. so there are rich and poor in the horse society too! fifty / fifty. they say in human societies there are 99% poor and only 1% rich. so we can say there is more justice in the horse society. I forgot to mention: the coat for the horse was bought by the 1% people.

  16. bluebee says:

    Wonderful shots – the cat in the snow is stark and beautiful

  17. Patti Kuche says:

    Your beautiful photos remind me why I love winter so much! No 11 is super spectacular!

  18. Jo Bryant says:

    some great captures in this lot

  19. lorrelee1970 says:

    Love the pics. I really liked the typewriter on the table. Great sentiment at the beginning as well.

  20. Nando says:

    These are all excellent shots! I agree with Brandon: I initially thought it was at a beach! My favorite shots are one with the black cat on white snow and the typewriter. I love old typewriters.

  21. dadirri7 says:

    a whole photo essay on winter, delightful thanks frizztext!

    your photos encouraged me to post my post about winter.. I only been in the snow twice but I had fun and was in both times very sick after .. but if I have another chance with the snow I will do the same .. :) and being sick after it.. well it is part of it :) ;)

  27. brrrrrrrr
    i can almost feel the cold
    thanks for sharing :)

  28. Thanks for these delightful shots. Great humor!

  29. A winter collection indeed. Love the cat and the fish.

  30. Wonderful shots! I especially liked the one of your cat leaving her prints in the snow. Where was she going?

    • frizztext says:

      C = Cat (on the road again)
      the cat in the snow metaphorical: us, stepping into 2012 like into a nowhere land…
      reality check: this is cat PAULI, shot through the window by my daughter in Bavaria …
      where is she going? rob some eggs from neighbor’s chicken? make the moles angry? going to hide in the wood, stapled for the oven? this cat PAULI is a bold philosopher: discover PAULI sitting with noblesse, ignoring the axe:

      comment by marineavoile: Always this need to be where the action is. In the city, it is on our papers in front of our computer screen, in the country, I guess it is on the chopping block. He did tuck his tail away neatly, though, he is no fool!
      comment by El Paso Joe: Well, it’s a good thing we don’t eat cats for Thanksgiving.

  31. suitablefish says:

    thanks for a great collection of winter. cars caught by the snow — a regular sight here, great idea the toy cars.

  32. Caroline says:

    Those are some great winter photos! I sure wouldn’t want to get stuck.

  33. Madman says:

    Wow, another great serie by a great artist. Wonderful :-)
    I wish you a Happy New Year 2012!
