LeenaM from Joensuu, Finland

Sorry, Jeff! I did not mean send cold weathers to you from here, now we have +1C, hopefully tomorrow is colder because this time is not good for melting snow and slippery roads, now it`s the time of a frost and we try to keep it that way and save you ;)

Good warm Sunday to you!

Anthony Lambert from Bielefeld, Germany

A cracking pond,very nice scene and as always pin point sharpness...
I´m beginning to think I´m going to get a Panasonic with my Birthday money,I hope the Pound stays nice and low until then.

@Anthony Lambert: It's the Leica lens that does it,you'ld be hard pressed to get better for your money...I take it you want cash in your birthday card,long time to August. ;>))

@jim: The thaws set in Jim,it's back to ordinary wet water..But they've promised us a big freeze in February,so I can play with it then..

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

beautiful pond, and look around no snow...wow ;)

11 Jan 2009 5:45pm

@Lorraine: No ice now,just rain and gales...A fall of snow would be nice for a change...

willow from Chelsea, United States

I like it, too - especially the curve of the tree trunk and its reflection in the ice water.

Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States

That tree to the shape of the pond is wonderful.

Stephanie from Toronto, Canada

Very beautiful! Winters are nowhere near that pretty here in Toronto. It's all white... then the snowbanks slowly turn gray. This, though, is lovely!

11 Jan 2009 9:20pm

@Stephanie: The Winters here are usually wet and windy,this years freeze up is a welcome change...A chance for some decent Winter shots..Have a good week. :>)

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

Yes, a cold reflection ... the unusual tree form makes this special!

11 Jan 2009 9:28pm

@Judy: And it was "cold"..Those tree branches look like big wings,perhaps the it was trying to fly off to sunnier climes. ;>))

Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States

Now, from a person who has never been anywhere this cold... do the fish get frozen in the water... hey... what do I know??? haha

11 Jan 2009 9:46pm

@Fliss: Young Lady!! have you never heard of frozen fish fingers ??...I hate serious,so its nice to meet another "Nutter". ;>))

Lesley from Lincoln, United States

This is just what I need to replace my lawn with! I'm tired of mowing/fertilizing/watering the darned thing. A pond would be perfect, don't you think? Great shot!

12 Jan 2009 12:37am

@Lesley: And shots of ponds are better than boring old grass..Go for it Lesley..

Rachel from Charleville-Mézières, France

Framing is good.
The tree bended over the water is like a person who waves his arms.
