I thought this might be a nice one for those who are suffering from the cold, snowy weather, we were dumped with snow yesterday! I have not heard the total yet.

A neighbor was nice enough to drive his lawn mower with plow over here, and helped clear the drive, there was no way I could have done it by hand. I went out an hour later and there was several more inches, but got it done. I will be out there again to clear what fell afterwards. Spring A Ling! I'm so ready!!! :)

Thanks for your comments, and I hope this Dahlia warms your soul.

This is like a light in the night or in the driving snow Sand. Lovely colour and good clarity.

It does brighten my day, Tigz. I just finished scooping the second storms droppings. I had to have someone with a blade clear the first one.
It was extremely wet and heavy.
Thanks for a little sunlight into my day.

I am not in the cold, snowy weather yet, but I will enjoy this shot all the same. Excellent clarity and color, and the foofy looks fantastic on the black background. Well done, Sandi.

We ended up with 19.3" Sandi and some doozy drifts from the ferocious winds last night. Lots of things are closed including all the schools and courthouses etc. I'll look at this beauty of yours instead of out the window!

Sandi, compliments for your neighbor!

Thanks for this image with it's warm colors. Think you wish that its warmth was capable to melt the snow.

Take care!

Your flower is simply glowing against the dark background. It is kind of a lemon yellow type of flower and I like that. Good warming image and so sorry for your winter snow dump Sandi.

What a beautiful yellow - nice work Sandi.
I don't need warming as it is quite warm here but a bit of soul warming never goes amiss and this does the trick :)
Hope you stay warm and safe
