Snowy Day

We've had some more snow in the last couple of days, and it's been cold enough for it to stay around.  Went out shooting with ML the other morning.  stopped by the mill pond, where there was a skiff of ice and just enough slight breeze to ruffle the water.  No blue skies, though--just good old Seattle grey.
 Then we swung by the Falls...the mist was heavy and thick, and all the foliage and trees were covered in heavy frost and ice.
 As long as we were at it, we stopped by the Depot on the way home.  I sure wish they would paint that faded caboose.  A caboose should be red, NOT PeptoBismol pink!!
 Back at the Falls, the trees overhanging the gorge were  encrusted in ice and covered with icicles, looking very Victorian in all their trimmings.

I really like your angle at the pond - so very serene! And those icy claws at the Falls - great focus! "Pepto Bismal" indeed - great name. Maybe we should stop by and make those RR folks aware of their bad taste and how much it ruins our photo ops! We keep murmuring; perhaps we could enlighten them instead.

Those are all great shots, even the Pepto pink caboose! The first one is beautiful - very peaceful!

The freezing falls took my breath away! So very lovely.

Beautiful captures - each one of them. The pond is breath taking and even though I agree the caboose could use a paint job - the scene is still storybook.

Beautiful!! Hope you are warming up now! And all that cold originally came from Alaska...we are just the middle man ;)
