WOW, You are on Fire Darlene!!! I mean you are Sooo Productive in Your Photography lately, So Many Wonderful and Beautiful Albums of Your Gorgeous Area!! I dare say you could find and Capture Beauty of the World ANYWHERE My Friend, but it Certainly is a Blessing Living in the Magnificence of the Region, huh!! My Favorite is #12, the Wonderful close-up filled with Color and Contrast of Percious Life Hanging on and who Will Emerge Victorious Again and Again, Just as Rob Will!!!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

It doesn't matter if it was dark. It adds to the character of the pictures. I loved the slideshow. Great job. Dianna

Hi Darlene. What a beautiful album, full of these wonderful trees, burdened down with ice and snow. It always makes for incredible photos, just as yours are. Left me feeling brrrrrrrrrrrrr. Love n hugs my friend, Sharon

Hello Darlene, I thought these were B/W until I came to photo #6 - the starkness is dramatic. I can almost hear the silence. I love the dialog. I wish everyone would annotate then photos. Ed & Helen/Albuquerque

Gorgeous, my friend...God gave you a frosted day to capture. The pictures are just awesome! BIG hugs to you, -claudia

wonderful album. how things look so different with ice and frost!

said lambchop121 2005.11.22 at 11:12:01 PST

It certainly looks beautiful the first snow of each year. I am always charmed by the pristene, sparkling, magic of it. In the city of course, it soon turns to .... no I won't spoil it.... lovely album ... Lloyd

said fotoproze 2005.11.22 at 15:37:37 PST

Hi Dar. If I understood correctly, it is ice and not snow on the ground and trees! WOW!! I'm impressed and glad that you were there and not me, although it would be something to see. All of the Nth American scenery is special to me but in the Winter I think I'd turn into a ice block. LOL. I enjoyed your nice cold photos and thanks for sharing them. Stay warm mate. Hugs Al..

said acehigh999 2005.11.22 at 17:27:16 PST

Darlene - Man is THIS ever a trip Home for me ! I have pictures like this I have taken myself in years past (mostly in B&W with my old 35mm film cameras). I will be downloading MOST of these !! Sure makes me Homesick ! It was 85 here 2 days ago ... I can dream of a White Christmas all I want and it ain't never gonna happen Down Here !! *sigh* Enjoy a good romp in the snow for me !! Love & overheated Hugs - Pat

said msphotospy 2005.11.22 at 18:01:26 PST

PS - I lived in an apt just a couple blocks from here for a short time. We could sit on the porch at night & hear the Falls ! It is one of the best parts of that city, IMHO.

said msphotospy 2005.11.22 at 18:18:45 PST

Thanks so much for the compliments on my photography. Happy Holidays, Peace.

said zekeson 2005.11.22 at 19:32:03 PST

OK Darlene - final tally, I downloaded the entire album !! LOL !! I will have to dig up my B&W's & post them. I have some really cool shots from the Canadian side where the mist froze in balls all over everything. It looked awesome but was incredibly difficult to walk on ! Love & Hugs - Pat

said msphotospy 2005.11.22 at 21:03:38 PST

Wow! I didn't know which album to look at first but I;m partial to this one and the Christmas bulb one.I love Christmas and ornaments,especially old or unusual ones.A nice tradition of mine is to exchange ornaments with others.

said joanph41 2005.11.23 at 04:32:35 PST

for awhile there i thought you'd added another black and white album until i noticed the color on the leaves. personally i think the light was perfect. too much more light and you might've ended up with a nasty glare. your timing was right on for this winter wonderland album. i'm sorry you're there for the reason that you have to be but in the end when everything turns out well (and it will) you can look back at these photos for remembrance of your strength. best of luck and a million prayers for rob and his speedy recovery. your friend. george-

said dragoneyes112 2005.11.23 at 04:52:50 PST

Oh Darlene You sure are right... that is an awesome winter wonderland of ice.Just gorgeous! Got the chills viewing the album though.... it looked soooooo cold. Good Job...Kathryn

said photorose 2005.11.23 at 09:44:32 PST

Beautiful snow photos Darlene, also it looks very cold out. did you freeze your tush off out there..lol Saw your weather report so I know it's cold in NY. Thanks for the invite, as always your photos are terrific. Hugs, Laura

said hereslaura 2005.11.23 at 10:02:32 PST

Hello Darlene, nice to hear from you again and thanks for yor kind words for my Frosty Morn album, nothing like the snow on the trees that you have here, I have been fortunate to visit Niagara fall albeit in the summer time now I can see the other side of the coin, the cold grey of winter, awsome pics and I enjoyed the trip to the winter wonderland, thanks again and god Bless Ken

Bonjour Darlene,i've been so busy lately i'm sorry i've missed a lot of your new albums,especially the Fall albums.Speaking of seasons you will always amaze me my friend,in the way that you see things that most people don't notice and it always turns out so beautifully;this one is no exception!It's just like being on another planet,thanks for sharing this amazing experience and for your kind words on my featured,have a Happy Thanksgiving!Luc

said kligon 2005.11.24 at 14:23:46 PST

Hi Darlene and what an incredible album this is! Coming from a place where even frost is unknown I find it so hard to imagine just how cold it can get in other parts of the world. Amazing photos and we have digital to thank for them because I doubt you would have taken all these if you had had to use a film camera! I shall be displaying this album around my local friends to let them see how the other half lives! LOL Just started on this when your entry in my Indian Ocean Drive GB came through. Many thanks for that and you were VERY quick off the mark because I had only posted it about 5 minutes before! As a contrast to all that ice I have to tell you that today is 31C (about 87F) and tomorrow is forecast to hit 35C (95F) Too hot and glary to be out taking photos. Love and hugs, Peter

said georgieboy05 2005.11.25 at 19:54:59 PST

Hello Darlene! What a wonderful world of snow! It's really a magical mood, we would like to have a long walk through this fairyland! The light and shadow in 24 and 25 make these pictures so special! Thanks, Darlene for this beautiful winter gift! Love and hugs, Henri and Käthi

Hi Renato, I really enjoyed visiting Wonderland of Ice. This is a wonderful album. Thanks for sharing with all of us. I'd like to thank you for visiting my featured album today and for your kind comment in the guestbook. Best wishes from Israel, Yair.

Sorry Darlene, I visited so many albums today and I wrote the wrong name in the previous comment. Please forgive me...

Hi Darlene...This is an awesome album & I love the way you've combined the black & white with a mixture of brown coloring..Makes for a Fantastic contrast..Thanks for sharing & God's Blessings from Texas...Ken PS: Appreciate your support on BLOG too as we all need to voice our opinions !!

said bigdaddy8x14 2005.11.30 at 07:20:14 PST

I just love this album, Darlene! In fact I think it may be my very favorite of yours. Thanks for your kind words regarding my new album. I have been trying to call you but there is no answer. I will try again later. Love & hugs, Candi

said candistackable 2005.12.02 at 11:17:28 PST

Hi Darlene...These photos are just awesome! I adore them and I have downloaded so many of them. The ice is beautiful on the trees and grass, but it would be slippery for sure. Can you imagine if someone put lights in the trees? I think that would be wonderful, impractical, but magical! I am so sorry that Rob has to go to Roswell Park. I will look at your web site too. I hope whatever it is, is improving! My best to both of you. hugs from Canada, Barbara..ps...I have an album of Christmas E-cards and gift tags if you are interested, but I did not come here to mention that initially...just something told me to come and look at a WInter album and i am so glad I did.

said midnightlace2 2005.12.02 at 16:57:02 PST

Dar, Great album. As you can see I've been neglectful in checking your great work. Pouting cuz my "clicking" arm is in a sling. Jealous you're gatting all these great shots. But good for you. I'm always impressed with your shot selection. Keep up the good work, one more album to check. Garry

said railfan55 2005.12.02 at 18:46:52 PST

Darlene! What great shots! We live in TN and hardly ever get snow. Thanks for sharing these lovely photos. I'm glad I can see them without actually getting cold. Kris :)

said KrisApplegate 2005.12.04 at 07:20:16 PST

Hi Darlene: You have captured nature's concert wonderfully once again. Congratulations but then I often enjoy your work you are excellent at interpreting the moods of mother nature. I must say I prefer the fall and serenity. Keep well and best wishes. Lise

Hi Darlene! How wonderful that you visited Niagara Falls and also enjoyed a beautiful "Wonderland of Ice!" I really enjoyed the slideshow of this album. Thanks for the sweet comments on my featured album. I was in the process of taking NEW Christmas photos, but had been swamped and hadn't uploaded it yet, so now I will probably just save the photos for next year. The album that was featured was made in 2001 and the photos from the Jewel Box are antiques now! :-)) They remodeled that building in St. Louis and use it mainly for weddings now. Merry Christmas if I don't get back to view your albums sooner; I hope I return before then though. I always love your photography. Hugs and love, Sharon

Bonjour Darlene, Thank you kindly for visiting my Featured 'First Snow' album today. Very kind words and much appreciated. You have a very nice album here. Merry Christmas. Merci. Luc, Montréal, Québec, Canada.

said maxeclip 2005.12.05 at 16:51:51 PST

Hi Darlene, firstly warmest thanks for taking the time to sign my guest book! This album is outstanding! We very rarely get any snow here. When we do it does not last long. We had a little a few weeks ago, and it has all melted away now. The photos you took are really amazing! Seasons greetings and best wishes, Mary

Hi Darlene, Thanks for your support and viewing NTTL2K1 or NTTL2K2 albums in 2005. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, best wishes for 2006! Michel from Quebec, Canada

Good Morning Darlene. I though we were cold here in Oregon, but this looks like minus degree weather. We have been sitting around 5 - 8 degrees in the morning then warming up to about 32 - 36! Excellent album by the way. I want to thank you for visiting my featured album of Crater Lake today. Your wonderful guestbook entry is greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Lynn, Bonanza/Oregon, USA

Hello Darlene. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. These are great photos, I'm glad it was you and not me that had to brave the cold to get these pictures. Thanks for sharing. Have a happy New Year. Don

said muggs1953 2005.12.27 at 03:50:35 PST

Hi Darlene. As I said once before, snow and ice are complete foreign to us, which makes it so fascinating to view albums such as yours, especially when they are so well photographed. Excellent work. Very many thanks for your generous comments in my featured Fabulous Beaches guest book just now and the reason I am replying so quickly is that I am about to close down for the night and wanted to be up to date! I appreciate your interest and once again wish you all a wonderful 2006. Best wishes, Peter

said georgieboy98 2005.12.28 at 05:43:17 PST

I just typed in "Winter Photo" and came across your album - it's beautiful! I hope you don't mind, but I downloaded some to use as my winter desktop background. Happy New Year!! :-)

said adrisimari 2006.01.03 at 01:43:11 PST

Hi Darlene, thanks for your kind comments on my Christmas album. I hope that you and yours had wonderful holidays too. These are really beautiful shots and well done. Don't apologize for it being dark. If it had been bright and sunny when you took these, the sharp contrast would have made the tree ice more difficult to see. As it is you had perfect conditions for these photos, and you really took good advantage of it. Mike
