Mirella said at 8:04 a.m. on Jan 28, 2009: "What a wonderful world!!!!Perhaps I couldnt' live there, like you couldnt' in our sweet winters, but I wish I could see for a while these magic places; the last bird seems looking at you; and the dog is so funny with its iced moustaches....It it yours ? Ciao, carissima.

Wildthing said at 8:29 a.m. on Jan 28, 2009: Gorgeous winter images. The lovely dog, the birds, the snow-covered trail through the trees, they are all tremendous. Thanks.
Mash said at 8:42 a.m. on Jan 28, 2009: Cool Winter sights! Magnificent photos! Thanks!
Tishfish said at 9:00 a.m. on Jan 28, 2009: As much as I hate snow, this is gorgeous ! ! ! I pity the poor little birds, not much to eat while the snow is covering everything.
YorkJodi said at 9:12 a.m. on Jan 28, 2009: Absolutely gorgeous photos!!! What is the little bird with the yellow breast?? He looks like our Chickadee but ours don't have yellow breasts. Darling dog... just great photos...

Pkeener said at 11:19 a.m. on Jan 28, 2009: Kris, you impart such an ethereal quality to all of your photos. Your use of light and white balance are enchanting, and enviable. Thank you. Your pup is sweet and the birds are just precious.
Candlepower said at 12:06 p.m. on Jan 28, 2009: So very beautiful but I'm guessing your getting a bit tired of it by now. Love the path through the woods!
Ira said at 12:18 p.m. on Jan 28, 2009: Charming snow winter! Very beautiful photos!
Krisu said at 2:31 p.m. on Jan 28, 2009: Fabio, thanks for your nice words, i know you've already seen some of these photos in my blog ;) Mirella, yes, Timi is our dog. and he's always moving, very hard to take decent photos of him. Molto grazie! Thanks, Eduardo! Mike, your visits in my tabblos are always ajoy to me, so thanks to you! Thank you, Mash :) Doreen, we feed the little birds just like you do :) Thank you. Jodi, Thank you and no, it's not a Chickadee, it's a Great Tit (Parus major), very common in Finland and in whole Europe and Asia too. In Finnish it's talitianen or talitintti. The other bird is ,as far as I know, a Redpoll /urpiainen (Carduelis flammea). Annelies, Thanks! Pam, What can I say? Thank you so much! :) Pat, Thank you! Not at all tired, I love winter! :D And a winter without a snow???really, what's the point NOT having snow and winter here in the "North Pole", because without snow the winter is ugly and nasty and grey and almost without light! Having pure rain for three to four months period instead of snow? I prefer snow, absolutely! The spring doesn't come to our levels any earlier than in April or May. We have had in some years snow also in May! I mean January, February and March are winter months to me. Children skate and cross-country ski also at schools in gymnastics lessons. Ira, thank you :)

Ania said at 4:04 p.m. on Jan 28, 2009: beautiful photos!!, I am jealous of you! We don´t have any winter this winter!!! I love snow!!!
Fabio_DL said at 9:20 p.m. on Jan 28, 2009: Colored pictures of the snow, taken in an overcast day, have the magic of the black and white photography. They have something more, too. You highlighted that extra with the brown walls of the building, the colorful feathers of the birds, the white window and the yellow side, the blue boat, the colorful signs, the orange ladder, and the brown Timi. What a beautiful dog! His picture synthesizes all the joy and magic of the winter. Great tabblo, Kristina!
Debdog said at 9:58 p.m. on Jan 28, 2009: well.another beautiful piece...your soul speaks the same language as mine! I love the quiet peace of a snowfall day, the birds are beautiful...and sweet Timi's face :) love it :) xxoohugs Deb
Noe said at 12:41 a.m. on Jan 29, 2009: Wow... this is gorgeous!! Beautiful landscapes, this winter in Chihuahua is like spring time, very warm... I miss the snow.
Hollyridger said at 2:45 a.m. on Jan 29, 2009: Beautiful crisp shots - very well done. I like the unusual viewpoints and I love the shot of your pup!
Welshchick said at 10:19 a.m. on Jan 29, 2009: Oh, Kris, I love how you say that it is all "part of your soul's scenery"~ it tells us that you are joyful about your surroundings, that you are exuberantly accustomed to WHITE ;^) these vignettes of your soul's gratitude and excitement of Life! Truly...these bushes are loaded with beauty as much as any Spring or Summer blossoms...This is a FAVE and I marvel at your birds and TIMI the GREAT~ :^D

Moorlerche said at 6:52 a.m. on Feb 28, 2009: Vilka underbara bilder av gråsiskor. Och jag älsker bild nummer tre, der man ser hur snön faller. Jag saknar bara skandinaviska myggor dansanda i solskenen framför fönstret vid -20°C :-)
Ballantyne said at 9:49 p.m. on Mar 28, 2009: Nicely done! I enjoy snow; and living at sea level on Canada's south west coast, we enjoy only a few snowfalls each year. Since much of my recreation involves snow, frequently I head in to the nearby mountains where snow and glaciers are still plentiful. Many of my neighbours see snow as an annoying event. You show that is it beautiful in all of its moods. Thanks.
