Christmas Lights in a Snow Storm!

We had just completed our outside Christmas lights when a snow storm hit us. My brother snapped this picture of the house during the blizzard. What do you think?

Dose anyone else want to share outside X-mas Light Pictures?

Orbs ??

Just a photography observation.

These digital cameras are so much better than regular 35 mm film in taking
pictures in low light conditions. We tried taking a picture like this with regular film
and it did not show up very well at all.

Hey, it's true... none of the snowflakes in that picture look the same.



Gee, wish it'd snow here too.

Yeah, snow sounds like a great idea until you're scraping off a half-inch of ice covered in five inches of snow from your car and it's a million degrees below zero (yeah, that's right, a million). I call that Sunday morning.

*Considers prospect of scraping ice off longhorn steers and cactus*

Yes, maybe you're right.
