A WHITE CHRISTMAS!

All snuggled warmly below our Christmas tree:

Snoqualmie Falls, just 2 miles from home, after the first frigid blast. The Falls are reduced to 1/3rd the width while miniature ice falls have formed on the borders. This was taken early in the morning with the sun barely sweeping across the top of the Falls:

Flanking the Falls, all things get an special coating from the icy mist:

I was there long enough that the atmosphere changed. Did the temperature dip even lower? An ice cloud form? I dunno', but everything turned a magical cold blue. I was not using a polarizer nor did I enhance the photos, this was the real (though other-wordly) color:

Feeling cold was well worth the experience!

THE LAST OF THE 'ANGLES' ASSIGNMENT

I think I have found most of my Angles by looking up!

Yep, because here I was standing inside the skeleton of a de-skinned teepee:

A very close angle on a bridge:

Looking up yet again; a campus library ceiling:

The ribs of an umbrella; I love the angles-on-angles:

POTD CHALLENGE: ANGLES

I guess this will be the last of my Angle shots because the week is over. I have had fun looking for angles! Here is a playground climbing rope:

Study in starkness with this bridge support overhead:

Another bridge overhead support, my favorite:

I love bridges! Here are angles in more detail on an old railroad bridge:

POTD CHALLENGE: ANGLES

I am having way too much fun with this category! I know I have used my piano for other categories, but this perspective highlights some angles:

Another interior shot; almost too many angles:

This features the new structure of our local ski area's snow/foot bridge:

NEW CHALLENGE: ANGLES

Look what a doctor's appointment turned up! These were taken at the hospital parking lot today.

PLAYING CATCH-UP

As I explained below, I am way behind in posting. So, here are a couple for the Photo of the Day category "Paths". The season is well gone now, so thought I would give tribute to summer with this pathway to the surf, here on our coast:

And a trespasser ( actually, we are the trespassers!) on the path to the cottage:

(noting below, I really do know how to spell "catch"!)

PLAYING CATCH-UP

I haven't posted on Photo of the Day for ages and ages. I love the topics, but I am really far behind. So, I pick "Paths" to cach-up, and then I will move on to be current!

I think Pat posted one like this recently - we were on a "leafing" outing. Don't you just love to crunch and kick your way through a path like this? The wind certainly does!

My dh and I use this bike path every Saturday morning:

I love Nature's natural arches and pathways:

With any new snowfall, I take myself across the street to check out the mood of this pasture:
