4. What great photos

The first is amazing with the few colors displayed brilliantly.

The second reminds me of a currier & ives painting.

The third shows the kitty loving snow, when, if it were water, he/she would shun it

6. Congrats to Tom Kitten and womanofthehills!

Great shots!



And thanks, Blue_in_AK for running the contest!



Congrats to all the other finalists, too!

It was kind of tough getting winter shots in a lot of places this year and I admit this one was in my archives (taken two years ago on a walk around the neighborhood after a January snow storm). In fact, the owners of that fence tore it down this year and when they put up the new fence, the Winterberry bush was inside of it. So...no more shots like this one!

Thanks to all the DU'ers who support our Photo Contests, vote, and comment on the photos!
