I'm glad you enjoyed them. :)<br /><br />• Paul, it sure can. One of the quickest positive changes in nature. :)<br /><br />• Leah, it does indeed. :)<br /><br />• Grizz, thanks very kindly. It probably was lens flare.. if you wanna get technical about it. ;) But I kind of prefer the spontaneous appearance of a heart... and that the tree likes me, as you said. :)<br />Thanks for your sweet words. I'm glad you've enjoyed a few more visitors to your wonderful blog. :)<br /><br />• Thank you, Scott. Very much appreciated. :)<br /><br />• VM, there really are a lot of snow photo opportunities if you look for them. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Maggie, ha, I remember dressing like that too. Young and not too bright. ;) Thanks so much for your very kind words. I've entered the photo here on my blog, haven't I? ;) <br /><br />• Thanks very much, Moannie. Always a pleasure when you stop by for a visit. Your kind words are very much appreciated. :)<br /><br />• Redbush, when life gives us winter, we take winter pics. Thanks for the kind words. Always nice to see you stop by. :)<br /><br />• Maggie May, thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the post. :)<br /><br />• Thanks, MPM. I'm glad you did. :)<br /><br />• Sleepinl8, thank you.

Thanks for the kind words and welcome to my blog. :)<br /><br />• Joanna, I'm glad I could accommodate your winter enjoyment. ;) Thanks always for your very kind words. :)<br /><br />• Sandy this is true. It's a bossy season but we can just opt to shut it out sometimes. ;)<br /><br />• Michael, thanks so much. I'm glad my post evoked some pondering for you. ;)<br /><br />• Thanks, Ocean Girl. :)<br /><br />• Mami, if I was a wordsmith like so many of my visitors, I might attempt its story. For now, I'll just let the image speak for itself. Thanks for stopping by. :)<br /><br />• Keith, thank you kindly. Yes, Bob's comment was very inspired and inspiring. Thanks so much for the visit. :)<br /><br />• Dave, thank you. I'm glad I could oblige you with a visit to a snowy part of the world. No doubt there'll be a lot more of that coming up.
