Baby, It's Cold Outside

23F is what the thermometer said when I took this shot this morning. For Alabama that is cold. The ice shown here is on the pond by my front door. For another view in warmer weather look at http://365project.org/grammyn/365/2011-09-09

Wahou it's frezzing!
And you're right, we can have nice shots even when it's cooold.

@maeva Sometimes it is difficult to find a shot but you will learn to consider all possibilities as you get further into the project. ;~}

[Debbie Orlando]

Slightly chilly, I'd say! Your pic captures that!

[adobe waters]

the delicate thin layer of ice - you really captured it wonderfully!

[katy]

@debsphotos ;~}. Thanks, Debbie. I think you are used to considerably colder.

[katy]

@adobewaters Thank you Adobe. It was a challenge to get it at the right angle.

[Anna]

Wow, icy water!! should be real cold for you:)

[katy]

@nyusha It is very cold for me but I am sure for you it is only chilly! ;~}

[W.MARK HATCH]

ok, our temperature was -23 celsius yesterday.... trade you? great picture btw!

[katy]

@mhatch Oh My Word!! Where do you live?! Not trading you! ;~} I have lived in Alabama for 21 years so these temperatures seem cold to me. Thanks for the compliment.

[J. Voorberg]

ice in Alabama.....wow

[Clare Figgins]

It's cold here but I don't think its that cold! Haven't seen any ice anyway! That is a huge leaf!

[katy]

@jayberg It isn't common but we do get it from time to time.

[katy]

@clarefigo The leasf really isn't very big. It must vbe the perspective that makes it seem large. For a really large leaf check this out http://365project.org/grammyn/365/2011-11-14

[MaryBeth Dailey]

That is making me even colder than I am now! It was 20 here in GA this morning really early. Brrr! Nice shot!

[katy]

@espyetta Thanks, Mary Beth. We are supposed to warm up tomorrow.

[bruni]

The lines in the ice make the picture..of course that leaf half way sstuck between the ice helps too. I really like it. yesterday was the coldest day this season so far....I bet it was minus 10 -12 degrees celcius...but since it was windy it felt so much colder. this morning I couln't open up the bedroom windows. they were frozen shut. today it warmed up a bit.

[katy]

@bruni Thanks, Bruni. I'm glad you noticed the details I was going for. t makes me cold just to read about your weather.

[Marilyn Wigen]

Fab! Love the leaf half in and half out and I don't know if it's the lines in the ice or exactly what, but you've done a great job of showing how thin the layer of ice is. And the leaves in the foreground are perfect!

[Debbie Orlando]

@grammyn -you got that right!

[katy]

@marilyn Thank you so much for liking what I did about the whole shot. Phil was trying to tell me which one to use and I didn't like his suggestions because they didn't have the elements you just mentioned. Thanks again.

[katy]

@debsphotos Glad I don't have to deal with yours.

[Peter de Graaff]

Looks cold

[W.MARK HATCH]

@grammyn, live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada only had one day of those temperatures back today to 32F or 0 celsius.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Chilly!!!!

[Kathy Burzynski]

That does sound cold for your area but not for Wisconsin. Great capture!

[mag]

I agree...the lines really are nice in this shot...it's as cold down there as in NJ..!!!

[katy]

@mhatch I enjoy the cold but not continuously. Fortunately, it is a little warmer here today.

[katy]

@ruthmouch Yes but it won't last. That is the blessing.

[katy]

@myhrhelper Thanks, Kathy. It was cold for us!

[katy]

@maggotx Thanks, Mag. We will have warm weather before you though!

[tia]

Downright weather emergency around here!!
