Pic Thread - How about a wintery picture thread?
Edited on Thu Jan-18-07 09:06 PM by Ava
It's been so cold this week - So post a photo of yourself in the cold winter weather! :P

It was 34 degrees outside when I took this photo - which is freezing cold for Bama ;)




Your turn!

11. Aww. Buddy!
I'm glad you're getting better. I have a scar between my eyes from slipping on ice moving a glass table top. Doctor said it was a blessing that I blinked while it was happening or I would have lost an eye.

:loveya: :hug:

20. Ava, you make a perfect little polar bear.
I'm surprised you had a coat that heavy on hand. Keep warm--spring is right around the corner!

Here's me on a snowshoe trip a couple years ago. We made our way down the trail that night by the light of a full moon. Unforgettable.

22. It's all in the clothes.
You'd do fine -- keep laughing with your friends and make sure you've always got one layer more than you think you'll need. (Guess what's in my backpack in the picture? More clothes!)

54. Ava, you are, hands down, the best responder at DU.
You hardly know me, but you've always responded. I'll bet everyone here would say the same thing.

You make this feel like a real community!

By the way, I'm not going to be in DC on the 27th. Is there some way I can ask you to be a presence for me too?

57. Good vibes are already in the air.
Since I'm not going, I called a friend who lives in Maryland. She is going to go in my place, and she's going to invite two neighbors. None of them would have been going otherwise, so I consider it a one-for-three substution.

Shout loud enough for the whole world to hear!

are you having sleet again?

I can hear it occasionally sleeting and then raining here in Arkansas

I want some real snow to go out and build a snowman with my 6 year old.

Snow that isn't as deep as he is tall like it was almost in Colorado when we were there at Christmas
