As usual, there was not a bad picture in the whole bunch! There were several I would happily hang on my wall.

always interesting to see what people vote for.
None of these were my picks from the finalists, but that is why there is vanilla and chocolate.

but my pick was the first place winner also. It almost made me like winter (almost). I'd love to have that scene to come home to on a winter's night.

We have some amazing photographers on DU. I always enjoy the contests.

Especially for Peggy doing such an awesome job. But you know wasn't it a tie for third with Evening Snowfall? My sister loved that one.

When I looked over the thread for the top three, I didn't see any ties. I might have missed it. Sorry!
