<p>Greetings from the mid-Atlantic U.S., where record snowfalls from back-to-back coastal storms are making for stronger backs, longer grocery store lines, and a multi-day shutdown of schools and the federal government. The first round produced heavy, wet snow that stuck to everything, including trees and power lines, and also to this bit of smiling stone decor.<br /><br />So: put on your snow hat, and post an image. Let's see what you've been doing with your Nikon gear.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday.<br>

Pelicans are still wintering at White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas. </p><div></div>

<p>I visited a butterfly park and this is what I got.</p>

<p>This is one of the few tigers, that I am not afraid of</p><div></div>

This was shot on Monday. It was a perfect day to shoot this building. It was cold, clear, and crisp without a cloud in the sky. I had good slanting light from the west. This was taken around 4:30pm.<p>

<p>Great photo Matt, very cute.</p>

<p>Here's a shot of a Spanish mission in a small Mayo Indian village in Sonora. The Mission Santa Barbara was built in the 1700's. (Not the one in California.) There are about four homes in the village. Nothing more.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Everybody,<br>

Matt, this is a brilliant photo, love the smile! <br>

Tiffany and Greg, thank you for your comments on my photo last week.<br>

This week, my usual Wednesday, nothing interesting ready for this thread, luckily, in photography almost anything can be the subject and I didn't have to go too far for my photo this week. <br>

I look forward to your pictures. <br>

<p><strong>Cool</strong> photo Matt!!</p>

<p>Opposite weather extremes here in Australia, not inspired to go out in the seemingly ever ending blazing 35+ degree sunshine to shoot anything much. Roll on Autumn I say.......</p>

<p>This enourmous fly landed on the car window in the shade of the car port yesterday. The fly was approx. 30mm wide at the wing tips, truly Lord of the Flies.......</p><div></div>

<p >Matt, very funny.</p>

<p >Happy 6^th WedNEsDAy! <strong>Greg, </strong>thank you for your kind words last week.</p>

<p >When this guy arrived, I grabbed my camera. This heron is lighter than any I had ever seen and that is still true today. I thought his colors were magnificent. He only stayed for a couple of minutes and then he was gone. If you know, is this a blue heron? Most of the 'blue' herons here are much grayer. </p>

<p >I hope everyone is doing well.</p>

<p><a href="../photodb/user?user_id=3949752">Gej Jones</a> : Wow, gorgeous colors.</p>

<p>Hi everyone<br>

Thank you to Juho for your kind words last week<br>

This is a photo of a watch i only wear on special occasions. I would wear it everyday except for the fact i work in building supplies and I would be afraid of smashing it. So don't take any notice of the date as it had not been wound up</p><div></div>

<p>Hello all! Happy Wednesday! My shot this week was taken last Saturday at Gasworks Park here in Seattle. Since it was sunny and warm out, and I haven't been able to get my new motorcycle yet, I decided to head down to the park with the masses of other very pale Seattlites that pop up when we have sun, and take some pictures.</p><div></div>

<p>Matt, great shot.<br>

This is my first attempt at water drops. It was lots of fun.<br>

<p >My shot is of a baby christened at a formal church ceremony last year. The proud uncle holding the baby is also the godfather. I never appreciated just how loud the click of the shutter can be until that day. Everyone could hear when I was shooting.</p>

<p>@Roberta, you have to tell us about making this shot!</p>

<p>My daughter needed new head shots for auditions for graduate program in Theater in San Francisco & last minute last Wednesday I managed to get a few in light I was happy with. This is the one she took with her to San Francisco because it's the one she liked the most.<br /> Again - I'm not much of a portrait photographer - but I am a proud mother. This is Andrea - my pride & joy.<br>

<p>Happy Wednesday everybody.<br>

Hasn’t had time to take any photographs this week, but dreams about warmer days and holydays just comes all by itself. So here are one from last years vacation.<br>

<p>Still Tuesday here in Seattle, but I see the thread is already hopping!<br>

Sankha and Bryan...awesome shots.<br>

Great work everyone!<br>

My contribution is from my red riding hood series. I have been trying to put this shoot together for awhile and it finally happened.<br>

Wolves have always been portrayed as villains in popular literature. This series is to celebrate the wolf...a beautiful, intelligent and sentient being.</p><div></div>
