Here's your winter photo, it's called attack of the albino brain chiggers
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

It sure is Winter here in the land of high taxes and corrupt politicians....Had 5 inches Wednesday and -8. Another Winter storm coming Sunday along with -11 Monday.
If at first you don't succeed, reload and try again.

If the weather was a bit different I would have sworn you were in Maryland. High taxes.....Check (our latest is a rain tax) Corrupt politicians........Where do you think Spiro Agnew was from?
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

This is about as close to "winter" as we've had so far. Took this early one morning while I was on vacation at the beginning of December. I think it was about 24 degrees outside. Might have gone shooting later that day with Titanium Hammer though...

2 questions...
1. are you a photographer? because that pic is awesome
2. Where do you live exactly because im moving in lol
Yeah, kamakazi, no postcard scans allowed! That is how you get ALBINO BRAIN CHIGGERS. Hmmmm, another contest huh? Something about a frozen Mosin? We aren't getting much of that weather here in Texas yet, but we did already get just a taste earlier. I took this one several years ago after a little Texas snow.
Awesome Snoqualmie Falls pic Lotema! Tell me you didn't take that one with your cell phone. I'm guessing you also stopped in to that honey hole gun shop either before or just after taking this pic?
Mine is from Snoqualmie Falls in Washington, about 15 minutes up the road from me. Kamikaze, no I'm not a professional photographer. I do have some very nice camera equipment though. Took this with my Canon 7D and a Canon 16-35 lens. Taking photos is one of my many other hobbies. My wife was happy when I initially started buying guns instead of camera lenses since they were so much cheaper.. Little did she know...
I've got a few other photos from that day that I like better personally. That one was the one that everyone else liked though. Gotta go with the crowd sometimes.

I don't know JYD, the more I look at that pic the more I'm convinced that you've got some serious "spiritual orb" activity going on around that property! Might be time to call Zac & the boys from Ghost Adventures and have them come out to investigate further. Tell me, who here wouldn't pay to see those guys stumble around in the darkness at JYD's compound!
Ghost hunters have been ....escorted...off the property before, and will be again.

We don’t get much snow around here. We just loose leaves, so this will most likely be the most wintery photo I can come up with during a rare snow fall at the higher elevations while out cutting some wood earlier in December.
