goat tr ig approves

stepping up your game there Myriad! Frank the handy guy?

You and Stacey are doing this winter/snow/window photography right.

Beautiful photos Myriad.

I never ceased to be enthralled by such a winter wonderland.

And your windows are a captivating wonderland too! Beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful.

Tr ig - actually I have a couple good goats in residence. I'll do a post about them.

Huh? Frank the handyman has nothin' to do with this. However, my previous handyman (now living in the Philippines - he ran away to live with a cam girl) did install some of the windows, replacing the leaky originals. I made my own inside storms (so much easier to deal with than traditional o/s storms), invaluable when I had the leaky windows, and still help as a barrier against the (not-here-yet-but-on-the-way) cold.) But Frank did build my wonderful garage - I'll include it in the goat post.

Thanks, bbd (yikes, appreciation of my photos from thee!) and Kate. Stacey? Is there a blog I should be looking at? Yeah, winter wonderland for the first snowfall or two...then it gets to be a drag.

Thanks, Brie.

Myriad, I'm sure you know Stacey, he just put up a winter snow window post...and his wife is a glass artist.

Golly! This is inspiring! I never thought to dress the windows like this, and it's so much fun and lends itself to collecting little by little over time. Thanks!

Your glass is beautiful. What a wonderful contrast to the white outdoors.

Lovely, Myriad. We've been getting more snow since and outside looks more like your scenes. The colored glass adds a story picture quality.

Oh I like all these colorful windows. You live quite nicely! I miss snow.

bbd - Wow. Thanks for the link. Actually I first went to the glass-work post and then the winter pix. Fantastic. I missed these when they came by... Also your Xmas Rat, which may give me bad dreams...(good tho)

Very nice!

Dianaani - It started when I had these deep-set windows (it's a log house, and then I insulated it on the inside) that cried out for something...and goodness knows I had lots of somethings...

jlsathre - it's sort of like a memory/promise of summer flowers.

Hi Fusun. We actually didn't get as much as predicted...how much did you get in Montreal? (And previous snowfall you went outside & got pix!)

Zanelle - it's all *stuff* - but pretty stuff. Makes me happy.

Desert rat - I suppose you don't get loads of that white stuff in the desert?

Gorgeous!

Really beautiful, Myriad. I love colour too. Your photos show Winter Wonderland and then a great contrast. The before and after of the room in the last two shots ...really nice.

I'll take looking at your pics to satisfy my fleeting winter cravings. No snow down here in the Banana Belt yet ...

Lovely colours. Must be a comfort at night, the light of your daughter's house through the trees. What a beautiful spot.

Love the colorful glass. Your home seems very welcoming. You have a lot of snow Myriad!

I like Canada!!!! =-} Snow looks good.

oooohh!! color is so good

I am Jealous.

I'm a fan of color, too. Your windows and your photos are beautiful. ~r

Colors seem so supernaturally vivid against that pristine backdrop. Great inspiration, Myriad.

Stunning photos. Gorgeous colours but you can keep the white stuff.

I love the monochromatic glass collections in the windows. These are lovely shots, Myriad, but I am sure glad I don't have to get around in all that snow.

Those trees speak of a groaning load of snow. We just dug out to the county road about an hour ago. Those window shelves are spectacular. I am delighted to see another take on deep winter and light through coloured glass. Much appreciated. Thanks for the shout out Barry.

I really enjoyed seeing these. How beautiful.

Blue - I like it - I look at the blue window every time I pass it on the way upstairs. (The others aren't in the same line of vision.)

Scarlett - no snow yet? (While all those places south of us are ravaged by blizzards and all...there are a few places in Canada that aren't so bad.)

Kim - It's a good set-up, my daughter and I far enough away so as to live separately, but close enough to keep an eye on each other.

Rita - we don't have really a lot of snow (yet), but it's the heavy wet stuff . It was around the freezing point when it came down. Later we'll get heaps of the light dry stuff...

Blufeather - Snow looks good, at least to start with...esp. after all the brown of dead vegetation of the last couple months...

Julie - especially when it's overcast! Or even just white outside. I was inspired years ago by some pix of Scandinavian interiors. Spacious and uncluttered, unlike mine, but with vivid color.

Jonathan - if I can make someone jealous, I'm happy. (Pretend I didn't say that.)

Linnnn - yup. Not nearly as impressive in the summer against green.
(Green, green? I can hardly remember what that was like...)

Linda - damn, I was hoping to ship you some

Lezlie - it is a drag. I remember, I remember...what it was like to just stroll outside as-is. Now there is armoring, and once outside there is stumbling and sliding and slogging...

Stacey - yeah, that looked like nice heavy snow you-all got, hanging off the roof and all (loved the little fringe of icicles). Fortunately I don't have to dig out my lane to the county road - got a guy who plows it at a reasonable rate.

Keri - good & thanks.

Joan H. - kinda loopy pix - my windows aren't really on a slant. But appreciated, coming from the purveyor of wonderful photos.

Beautiful photos! I'm so glad I caught them.

Snippy - glad you found them too!

Really whisical, beautiful images.
