This morning, in the middle of when I should have been at the breakfast table. :D

Old broken down building, we had no idea what it was till a year ago when we received a surprise visit from the properties original owner.
Was fun hearing how everything had changed since. He told us that when he still owned it the building was a garage and to remove the tree stumps for the foundations and driveway he just walked into one of the stores in town and bought a box of dynamite without even needing a photo ID.

The heavy snow pushing down some of the more weak trees.

A frozen over creek bed.

Logs that once were meant for a guest log building, the building never was and now the ants have wreaked them.

Laser cut ornament. Now I want a laser cutter. :)

Always fun to see pictures of snow scenes. Reminds me of my younger days when we lived in NY. Just keep that white stuff up there! Any snow around here at all and the roads become a "destruction derby" contest. Great business for the towing industry though. :p

Those are amazing! Loving them! :)

Wish that we had some of that winter weather here in Texas right now instead of just this sunny weather.

Nice. We bought some of those laser cut ornaments in Bruges 2 weeks ago. Will take some shots of them.

Very nice pictures. But I'm not exactly a snow lover :p We got 2.5 feet here Monday and it took us 3 hours just to shovel enough to get my mom's car out. :Grimmace:

Haha, I have to laugh. I keep seeing all the news reports of areas being slammed with snow and no matter where I go, there seems to be little snow. I can walk outside my apartment right now and see little snow on the ground. Add to this the unseasonable warmth coming this weekend and it will look like spring this weekend.

I'd put up a picture but for those of you in areas that get snow, you know how gross everything looks between winter and spring (what it looks like outside right now).

Hey Tattoo, think about us while you're enjoying Summer down there right now. Maybe post a beach scene to warm us up a bit, eh? :)

Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of why I moved away from that stuff. Yuck! 22 yrs in it was more than enough, and now I live in the desert. Kind of ironic, though... last week we were in the 70's (F) and today it was in the 30's and 40's and even "snowed" (tiny flurries) for about 2 minutes. That's right - snow in Phoenix, AZ where our average in the summer is 90 days over 100F.
Crazy weather!!

All the snow up north here is coming down to you guys, lol. I wish it would.

I remember last year when you guys had that tornado warning and had like the national guard, or something, preparing to go to Phoenix, lol.

We had 3 or 4 tornadoes touch down just a few months ago not too far from here. It's amazing how stupid everyone drives when it rains. I couldn't imagine the chaos if we ever got any REAL snow in the valley! The whole rural-metro area would shut down.

The pictures are cool, I love snow. My favorite part was when he walked into town and bought some dynamite, haha.

TatttoedMac, that picture made me laugh.
