Some flowers:

You came back just in time for the shittiest weather we've had. I can't take this cold.

[Haole Girl]

Rotten timing on our part! lol

9. My dear Haole Girl!

Welcome back! Aristus was just saying how much he misses you...

And these pictures! Wow. You have got quite the eye...

I especially enjoyed the bird close-ups and the flowers...

But the wave pictures are wonderful too!

I also loved the lizard and the whale pictures!

I know you had a great time...

Welcome home, sweetie...

[Aristus]

23. Welcome back, HG!

Thanks for posting the beautiful pics. Looks really wonderful there. Today was the first really nice day we've had in the PNW this year. Sunlight, not-too-cold temps, and our beautiful mountain.

Hope you had a wonderful time. :-)

[Haole Girl]

24. Thanks, Aristus

We had a great time. Very relaxing. B-)

25. I just spend 45 minutes snowblowing the remains of the ice storm out of my parking spot.

This morning I chipped my mom's car free of the glazing of ice on it.

Last week I spend 3 hours behind a snowblower. 2 hours the week before that, and another 3 hours the week before that.


Damn, this new job had better take off so I can afford to go there one day!

[Haole Girl]

26. Hope you get to go soon!

And, stay warm! :hi:

[krispos42]

27. It would be nice at this point

Normally winters don't bother me. I actually like them... no bugs, no humidity. :-)

But damn, I'd forgotten how GREY New England is during the winter. I just moved back from Minnesota, and in winter the sky looks just like in the pictures you posted. So, yeah, it's cold, but it's friggin' BEAUTIFUL.

Here... bleah. Lewis Black nailed it.


Know any spas or plastic surgeons looking for a quality hypo-allergenic pure pressed mineral makeup??? I'd be happy to accompany my crazy dutchwoman boss down there to make a deal...



Please?

[Haole Girl]

28. Unfortunately, no....

I don't live in Hawaii... I just pretend to! ;-) :hi:

[denbot]

29. Awesome pictures

The whales breaching shots are amazing.

[MilesColtrane]

30. Thanks for helping me go to my happy place for a little bit.

The bitter cold here doesn't feel so bad while I'm sipping wine and looking at your pics.

[Solly Mack]

31. Excellent!!

[bikebloke]

32. Whoops. You dropped your lens cap.

I'd better go over there and find it for you.:)

[NV Whino]

33. Oh sure, flaunt all that sunshine

when half the country is buried in snow. :rofl:

Looks great. Nice shots.

[mcollins]

34. just beautiful.

It hasn't been above zero here for three days.


Oh...the fat guy in the surf? That is almost me!

[Haole Girl]

35. Dupe

[Haole Girl]

36. * Thank you all, for the kind compliments *

Sorry I didn't respond earlier... it's been a crazy, hectic week!

[tigereye]

37. oh my- just gorgeous! thanks for sharing

what kind of bird is that- almost looks like a kind of cardinal.

[Haole Girl]

38. Red-crested Cardinal, I think. Thanks. n/t
