<p>Martin--<br>

Sorry to hear of your dog.<br>

Meanwhile, Canadian Pacific RR's Holiday Train, in Brookings SD. Railfan photographer using a Canon in the foreground. I tried to talk some sense into him.</p>

<p>Kent in SD</p>

<p>No ice and snow around here, just COLD!</p>

[Rick Helmke]

<p>Greetings from the depths of northern Ontario.<br>

For those that express things in DD/MM/YY format, today is 11/12/13! There must be <em>something</em> special 'bout that.<br>

Had the camera and the kids out at the same time this weekend. It was cold; around -13C. I thought that was nippy until I just looked at the thermometer which declares that it is -21C now at 9:25AM.<br>

Harry wanted to show how deep the snow was. For the snow to be belly deep on him means that the rest of us only need ankle boots.</p><div></div>

[DawsonPointers]

<p>Hattie has no problem with 3" deep snow but she doesn't like the cold as much as Harry.</p><div></div>

[DawsonPointers]

<p>The real challenge is to try to get a <em>nice</em> photo of them together.<br>

Hattie (on top) says "He started it!" and she's probably right.<br>

Sorry to hear about Slider. I sense he had a good life.</p><div></div>

<p>Huh? - rugby: unless they play weird soccer in your town or perhaps its just the Marines...</p>

<p>Kent, Sorry to hear of your loss of Mr. Earl. I bet Mr. Blue is happy to have another companion. Thanks for adopting the Greyhounds. </p>

<p>Some really wonderful shots today. <br>

Martin Z, nice shot of Slider, sorry for your friends loss.<br>

Jim Palmer, gorgeous detail you have captured in that ice.<br>

John Roswell, so nice to see Harry and Hattie again, wonderful shots.<br>

We have not had ice, but cold rain. Here is the dianthus after the rain.</p>

<p>Here are the first two out of my new D800E. (There has to be a story...)<br>

I purchased it two and a half weeks ago after 18 months of procrastination, worked on setting it up a bit that night, and then the next day slipped on a wet cliff and rocketed 20' down into the woods (without the camera). So, yesterday was the first day I could actually lift the camera to my eye without needing a cane for support. I got as far as the front door, opened it and stood long enough to get these two of my daughter and her 'brother' Elwood.<br>

Sad stories, again, of dogs passing. Of course it's inevitable but damn it hurts.<br>

Kent, that train passed 5 kilometres from here last week and I was housebound with the new camera. Each year I wait for just the perfect amount of fresh powder on the rails and this year the weather was perfect and I wasn't.<br>

Andy, soccer balls are rounder on the ends... ;)<br>

Birdie, near perfect, as usual.<br>

Nice shots, everyone.</p><div></div>

[Gup]

<p>Lex, that third shot is enough to frighten small children ;) -and I do appreciate life with the cane.</p><div></div>

[Gup]

<p>Resized. Too much haste to get them posted together!</p><div></div>

[purplealien]

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone. Lovely ice pictures. I especially liked yours E.J. and Mitchell.</p>

<p>Martin, sorry to hear about Shiner. That is a lovely picture of him.</p>

<p>No real ice here in the South of the UK, but we are getting some photogenic frosts. Here's one from my journey into work this morning......</p><div></div>
