Snow Pics

Now that it is officially meteorological spring, I'll post some winter photos.

First, some photos that I took one morning when the fog froze. I didn't know fog could freeze. I always associate fog with warmer temperatures than freezing. Nevertheless, it happens!



Everything was covered with this lovely-patterned ice. The prettiest views were those of long ranges of trees, all covered with the delicate ice. Alas, I didn't think distance shots would show well in a photo.



This last photo is a close-up of the ice crystals, attached to one of our trees. I'm glad that modern cameras are able to capture such an image.


And, coming soon: some photos from one of our big February snows.

Furniture

I think someone missed his calling!

We needed a place to put our TV, music and games down in the schoolroom/playroom. I'm a bit picky and there was nothing, nothing that I liked that is sold in any store, anywhere. So, I made a collection of photos of various cabinets and entertainment centers that I sort of liked. And passed the photos to Steve. And see what he did? He put together the elements I liked best from the various furniture designs.


This photo doesn't show it with the knobs, yet. Nor does the photo show it in its proper location in the room. But it is finished now. And it looks lovely. I'm planning to have matching tables/desks made for other parts of the room!
