It’s no help posting photos of beaches, the sea, rock needles, etc. – it’s still winter in our parts, let’s face it.
The picture above is actually back from 2004 – I took it with my first digital camera (although I still used my analog camera a lot at that time).
Oh, my good old Canon Digital Ixus V2… It does not work anymore, but I cannot part with it. Memories…
Forget the Camera 
Your image reminds me just how cold it’s been for much of the Northern Hemisphere this past winter. A Canadian friend posted an image of their nearby lake that looked more like the Arctic.
Hope Spring comes soon for you this year.
Thanks!
Here in Germany winter was fairly mild though this year (with a few exceptions).
I remember when I was a kid I could toboggan every winter. In the last ten years or so, there was hardly an opportunity for this. As soon as it snows, rain comes the next day and melts it away. While this means less snow clearing for me, it is not nice for the kids.
