Weather, Food, Snow, Ice(creme ), Behavior, Feelings, coldness... whatever this theme evokes.

Again, no time restriction on when the entries were taken. After all, it's summer in the Southern Hemisphere now.

Sure...just want I want to do, go out in the cold. I already have a cold, but I guess I will give it a try anyway. Hey dude quit P&Ming and go join the fun. OK...will do.

Nice set, Bart, good thing you're not participating this time. I should be able to come up with something...

Actually, this will be my first, with Ricoh GRD2:

[Bart]

Thanks Bill!

And a great opening entry!
Right on theme and a b&w as an extra bonus

[Bart]

Great image and interpretations, Nelson!

Am I correct however in seeing this is taken with a K5?
This is meant for P&S camera's. I don't think the K5 falls in that category even in the somewhat broad definition See Rule #2

OOps...that's what happens when you don't read thoroughly. I will delete them.

[Bart]

Well, too bad.
Thanks for understanding.
An opportunity perhaps to pull out a P&S?
Even phones are accepted

Here's my other two, chances of catching snow or frost here in the South will be iffy at best:




These are from the same set as the first, with Ricoh GRD2. This snow lasted less than a day and was completely gone. If I can shoot something
else, will replace.

So the pentax X-5 is ok to use?

Great light and shadows, Bill and fine selective focussing!

Snow gone in a day - preferably a weekend day - is my kind of snow

It would seem to fit nicely into the criteria, camerasup.
So, jump right in

What a great idea for a theme, Bart!
Chubasco , loved your entries, especially the last one. Brrrr!

My first entry: The Snow Cat seen from my porch after a light snow. Pentax Q7 and 06 lens.
I've some more ideas in the works, but, this will do for now.

3 from tonight from my parking garage with my MX-1. Minus 10 windchill

Already a fine entry, Edith! I like the black cat and the light/shadow.

These definitely say "Cold", T_MB!
Great night images as well.

By the way, these are with the MX-1, I think?

Don't forget to include the camera brand and type.

[chubasco]

Agree with Bart, love the snow cat!

[Sagitta]

No time restrictions?

Well then...

Kodak EasyShare CX7310. Haven't had that camera for years after someone swiped it on me.
