Thread: do do do-lookin out my back door....

Im sitting up here in no mans land. There is a blizzard with winds of over 40mph! So I decided to take some photos out my back door...

Already?
Dig in for the winter.
Look at the bright side - wonderful views.

Excellent pics. all well focussed and framed.

Nice pictures Kate, Remindes me of my home town. (Portugal)
That is something we dont see here on this side of good sunny South Africa....

Beautiful!

Must make the house feel like a real home.....all snuggly warm and peaceful. You must enjoy the smells of your favorite teas, homemade cookies, and the hint of smoke from the roaring fire....

Thanks all....Its so blustery up here today...gives one an amazing feeling.

Hey Manuel...do me a huge favor and go outside close your eyes and look up at the sun and feel the warmth, then send it to me!...hehe.

Ah yes, there is indeed all that but the smoke...well the smoke of my cig...lol...I dont use a woodfire, house is too tindery..lol...but its in fact snuggly and warm while the wind is slapping every tree and branch around like straw....its very cozy!

Awesome Kate ... looks like a great back door to the "kitchen party"
Your pics are fabulous .... and it's so cool how you captured that little squirrel there, he looks cozy too .... nice ..... :)

Why is Lady calling me names now??
(I'm wearing a fur coat as I visit our friend Kate here, you silly girl!)
...and I remember the song, Kate.....

lol .... it's the remnants of the fine wine ... no I don't believe there is such a thing ... well maybe next week ... I need a further lesson from Trish I believe .... lol ..

The pics are pretty Kate.

Really.....were we all to gather for a weekend, they would have to appoint an official day of rest on the calendar......all of us VodaHosters would simply have so much fun it would spoil it for the entire city!

You gals are the cat's meow!
It's like going back to high school or something.......why it is we have real fun as adults and not nearly as good a time when we really ARE younger???

OK - Im lost. Wheres the squirel?...I took these by (funny site) standing just outside my backdoor, still in my huge puffy slippers,flannel pj's,and robe! I surely was not doing a professional photo shoot! It was definately a shoot and go..and there isnt a squirrel...and I think If I saw Vasili out there Id noticed?...lol..
Eric I cant believe (or I can) you are the only one that GOT that song! Good job Im impressed! CCR! Im old...lol
now have a half foot or more, wind still blowing and gusting over 50mph! just had one and it was a complete white out!..may loose electric...hopefully the trees are bending well Alot of the east is out of electric.
If I have a kitchen party, its not going to be nasty cold wine! Its now switched to Baileys and cocoa topped with whipped cream!....

Kassi,

Did your camera get snowed on? If not you have an incredible amont of Orbs (spirits) outside your house. They are beautiful photos.

I have a photo I would like you to see if you can do anything with, I will send it as soon as I can get up my scanner.

No lol thats not my backyard orbs, that is snow, it was blowing fiercly. But aparently I have a squirrel that Im dying to find out where cause I cant see it!...lol
please do send me a pic, never make a promise other than I know Ill love trying to fix it!....photochallenges I love! send it via:
