Winter fun

I love it how winter weather can bring so many people together wanting to do exactly the same thing, have fun with snow and ice!

Storms – fierce but beautiful

Major storms scare me, intrigue me and make me feel humble. Not fun to get caught in, but from a safe distance the stormy sky can also look hauntingly beautiful.
