After 3 days of well below freezing temperatures, I thought I'd take a few shots of todays haw frost.

[quote user="powerdesal"]Suze, arent those the plants that usually have wicked sharp spikes on the ends of the leaves?

No, I think you are thinking  Yucca which is very spikey.  These (I've got five big ones) are Chusan Excelsa palm trees.  The second photo is my Laurel hedge.

Why Miki (have I missed something again !), whoever, I have a nice feeling one might be on it's way right now.  [geek]

It is nice weather for Christmastime, cold and dry, but I wanted to ask Jonzjob about his photo above, "have you really already had snow like that earlier this year?!"

Just took this with my free with a magazine camera (which took the Autumn feel ones), but there is not enough light for it.  Maybe do better tomorrow !

I was referring to this re Miki and Santa, CA - read through to the (currently) last post.

Which magazine did you get the free camera with?  Is it a current offer?  I want a cheap and cheerful camera for the car glovebox.  Your results are impressive for a freebie - perfectly good enough definition for the Internet.

[quote user="Dick Smith"]Suze, that is fabulous, the best yet.

I am so impressed by the standard of photography of some posters.

This (and all your other shots) would sell to a photo agency, I am certain.

Why thank you very much kind sir! I love taking photos and always carry my camera with me, which is why I have a compact so it fits in my bag or pocket though I would love a digi SLR with a couple of lens.  Have you got the details of an agency [;-)]!

Cassis, aha, it wasn't with just one magazine, but with a year's subscription to Le Point or Le Nouvel Observateur, can't remembr which as we get both. J-P. did that.

I now see what Jonzjob meant by "earlier this year", he meant last Winter !

WJT, if you are frozen and we still haven't a photo of you, can we have a "givré" one ?  [:P]

I expect we'll all be givré, complètement givré by tomorrow !
