Very nice pics. I can't wait for the first snowfall here, I love it.

Whew... I thought you might have included a picture of our house, but it's only our street, hahaha. :D Yeah, that was a really nice snowfall, wasn't it? Complemented our late-night viewing of Biden vs. Palin (with popcorn) very nicely. :)

i had the best seat in the house last night. the tv room where i watched the debate has one wall completely made of glass that overlooks rvk (the photos with the flagpole.) ps the 1st and 2nd pics were taken from the front of my house :)

goddammit that looks so cold.

some really nice shots in there.

reminds me of melbourne

actually it doesnt..just wanted to get a rise out of you :D

ESJA!!! I miss you!

How beautiful. Thank you for the share. I so miss the snow and the cold.

there are some days that really do feel like this in melbs. :p

I just walked down to the end of my street (crossing lotsofmagnet's street on the way) to have a look at Esja with the beautiful early snow covering her... you can see my exact view in the 2nd to last pic, though I walked all the way to the end to see more of the mountain. I do love the way Esja looks in the winter on a clear blue-sky day, like a big chocolate wedding cake with buttercream frosting draped down her slopes. I wonder if it will snow much again before we leave Iceland... I'm enjoying this bit of snow while we can.

I love first snow, everything looks so pure.

I don't miss living in it. It's nice to visit.

Nice pictures!

I love the last picture.

I'm not looking forward to our first snow at all. ): I hate winter. I wish it stayed autumn forever.

Cool pics.. It's like I was there!

I slipped and almost fell several times today. Time for the boots...

lucky you mentioned that: my next batch of pics are autumn pics from 3 days of wanderings. all 3 days of autumn we seemed to have....

Autumn? Snow? What is all this? It's 88 degrees outside right now!

. The First Snowfall

The first snowfall of winter is gently floating down,
it doesn't seem to settle, only hover over town.
And in the quiet stillness, unbroken silent sound,
a snowflake wanders slowly to its
place upon the ground.




Peering through my window, I watch the
snowflakes dance
in a silent pirouette that leaves their
fate to chance.
As each one tumbles softly in misty
shrouds of white,
I somehow know the snow will last the night.



Could it be I'm dreaming, or could it be I'm right;
do the snowflakes really fall in
patterns made of light?
Twisting, ever turning, softly falling flakes of down,
angels' pillows gently come to rest upon the town.

-Jane Ellen

Beautiful glimpse into a world far different from where I am now -- thank you!

Today it was 70 degrees and sunny.

I love the snow...great pics. It's only 40F here overnight, so it'll be a while before it snows. I wish winter would stay longer.

I love the first snowfall of the season... or any snow that comes out looking fresh and clean.

No snow here any time soon.

It was 40F here overnight about 4 nights ago. And then suddenly it dropped to 30-32. It was really weird.

Anyway, if you really like winter, feel free to move to Iceland and join us! October to April, no real spring or autumn, and about 3 months of summer if we're lucky. :)

I don't have a problem with the snow, I have a problem with the temperatures that come along with it.
