Re: Monthly Photo Challenge
And now I am even more excited to go home for Christmas, so I can get the best winter picture ever! There isn't even snow here yet...
I used to hate gravity because it would not let me fly. Now I realize it is gravity that lets me stand.

I missed October and November, but I really want to participate in December. Once it snows here I'll have a chance to take the pic I have envisioned.

Back deck before and after the snow this week. It's actually still snowing, but my dad shoveled it off, so it's not so impressive right now. If the sunset is pretty enough this afternoon, I may double dip in this challenge...

Re: Monthly Photo Challenge
I was leaving my apartment on Christmas morning for our church service and then my parents house for Christmas and I just had to snap this one:
It is a plant called sedum (sedum glaucophyllum to be precise) and it had grown leaves through the summer, flowering at the end of summer. Then those flowers and leaves died off but the temperate fall we had caused it to grow new growth and flower again in October (this was a small growth and smaller flower stems than normal). That growth died off but the temperate winter caused it to grow a third growth and flower once more (this time it was more like the usual summer ones)!
I have lived in the Deep South all my life, spending most of my time in South Carolina and New Orleans, LA. So, yeah, this says "winter" to me as much as any of your snow pictures say it to you. We rarely get snow, especially not in the early part of winter. I don't think I've seen a white Christmas in my life. If we do get snow it is in January or February. (Two years ago we got a LOT of snow for SC, I had to move my Mardi Gras party to the next night because no one could get here.)
(Also: it turns out my phone does really great photos if the subject is stationary and lit by natural light! Which sucks, because my supercute niece is rarely stationary... At least it does great video for that.)

Re: Monthly Photo Challenge
Last day for pics, yikes! I don't have anything recent but here are two showing our winters at their finest. A huge snowstorm and devastating ice storm.
